The packages of Seasonale are supposed to contain a 91-day supply divided into three blister cards: two cards with 28 active pills, which are pink, and a third with 35 total pills — 28 active and seven placebos, which are white.

Health Canada says the affected packages, which have expiry dates of Jan. 31, 2026, and Sept. 30, 2026, include a row of placebo pills on the second card as well.

The agency says people who have an affected batch should return it to the pharmacy, without skipping any active pills.

Health Canada says taking additional placebo pills or taking them out of order could lead to unplanned pregnancy, and it's monitoring Teva Canada's recall and investigation.
