What do the placebo pills do?

I take Yaz and I heard that some people freshly don't take the last four pills (the white ones as opposed to the pink ones). Is near even anything in them? I had to give them to a nurse when I go to camp for 3 weeks and when I came to take my drug on the last four days of my pack, she asked if I even took the "sugar pills."

So, I'm guessing there's really nothing in the pill that's obligatory. Or is there? Does anyone understand those pills?
Answers:
They don't do anything. That's the time you start your period. They're just at hand as a reminder so you don't forget to start taking the regular pills again when it's time. :)
No, they have no active ingredients at all. They enjoy no physical effect on your body whatsoever.

In the UK packs of pills only have the 21 alive pills and no 7 placebo pills. We take the 21 pills and have a 7 day break surrounded by which we take no pills. The 7 placebo pills in American packs are necessarily to help you remember to keep taking your pills by getting you in the need of taking a pill every single day. There is no need to take the placebo pills if you can remember to budge back on your active pills at the right time after the 7 day break.

Placebos can be used to trick patients into premonition better. In one common placebo procedure, a patient is given an inert sugar pill, told that it may add to his/her condition, but not told that it is in fact inert. Such an intervention may grounds the patient to believe the treatment will change his/her condition; and this belief does indeed sometimes have a cathartic effect, causing the patient's condition to improve. This phenomenon is known as the placebo effect. [Wiki]
next to birth control pills, the sugar ones are there just to keep you surrounded by the habit of taking a pill.
There is zilch in those pills. That is what a placebo pill is. It has no medication in it. There is zilch in there to make you draw from your period or anything. You get your period because you stop taking within the hormones from your birth control. You don't have to take the placebos if you don't want to. I never do. The reason they come near your pills is to keep you in the habit of taking a pill everyday. Some associates would forget to take their pill if they took even one day off. They are commonly called reminder pills. They just remind you to take something every afternoon.
A placebo is a nouns medical intervention. In one common placebo procedure, a patient is given an inert sugar pill, told that it may remodel his/her condition, but not told that it is in fact inert. Such an intervention may end in the patient to believe the treatment will change his/her condition; and this belief does indeed sometimes have a liberating effect, causing the patient's condition to improve. This phenomenon is known as the placebo effect.
Placebo's don't realadjectivesdo anything,, but the idea is, that you can "trick" yourself into feeling better by taking them, rather next, asprin, for example.
It's a psychological thing.. :)
placebos = are pills that have no effect. They basically taste similar to your medication, but enjoy no drug effect on your body. You still need to take those pills because they are part of the Yaz regimen only to be safe. Why skip it if there is no good explanation to. better to be safe than end up where you don't want to be.
Its nothing... Just sugar or something harmless like that. They use them to hold you on schedule... They also use them in drug trials/testing but you didnt ask about that...
nothing

make you give attention to theyre gonna do something but no
it won't do nothing to you, it might clean your stomach, you have need of to take colon cleansers. Source(s): ugh!
it's for habit if you're taking something that have a schedule, no real medicinal value. however, w/ birth control pills, these 'placebos' enjoy an iron suppliment because of the blood loss during menstruation...
