Dr. Bharat Joshi
I’m a periodontist and academician with a strong clinical and teaching background. Over the last 4 years and 8 months, I’ve been actively involved in dental education, guiding students at multiple levels including dental hygienist, BDS, and MDS programs. Currently, I serve as a Reader at MMCDSR in Ambala, Haryana—a role that allows me to merge my academic passion with hands-on experience. Clinically, I’ve been practicing dentistry for the past 12 years. From routine procedures like scaling and root planing to more advanced cases involving grafts, biopsies, and implant surgeries. Honestly, I still find joy in doing a simple RCT when it’s needed. It’s not just about the procedure but making sure the patient feels comfortable and safe. Academically, I have 26 research publications to my credit. I’m on the editorial boards of the Archives of Dental Research and Journal of Dental Research and Oral Health, and I’ve spent a lot of time reviewing manuscripts—from case reports to meta-analyses and even book reviews. I was honored to receive the “Best Editor” award by Innovative Publications, and Athena Publications recognized me as an “excellent reviewer,” which honestly came as a bit of a surprise! In 2025, I had the opportunity to present a guest lecture in Italy on traumatic oral lesions. Sharing my work and learning from peers globally has been incredibly fulfilling. Outside academics and clinics, I’ve also worked in the pharmaceutical sector as a Drug Safety Associate for about 3 years, focusing on pharmacovigilance. That role really sharpened my attention to detail and deepened my understanding of drug interactions and adverse effects. My goal is to keep learning, and give every patient and student my absolute best.

Hello dear See blue pills are active hormonal pills and white pills are placebo or inactivated iron pills As per clinical history You have taken overdose of blue pills There are usually not very severe side effects You can take following precautions Skip the blue pills for two 2-3 days After that Continue taking single pill ( blue ) only after that Continue white pills regularly Observe for Nausea Vomiting Diarrhea Weakening Haermmorhage Also consult if any tests are required Do have interaction with gynaecologist in person for better clarity Regards

In the case of taking two blue pills (active hormonal pills) instead of white ones (placebo) in your Lo Lo Estrin Fe pack, it’s understandable to be concerned, but this situation is generally manageable. The primary difference here is that you’ve extended the hormonally active part by a couple of days, which usually doesn’t harm your hormonal cycle, but can affect the scheduled break if you were taking the placebo pills for a specific reason like withdrawal bleeding. To get back on track, you can continue taking the white pills as usually planned for the placebo break after you complete a normal cycle of active pills or consult your doctor’s advice for specific guidance. Missing these placebo, or inactive, pills doesn’t affect contraception effectiveness but skipping them could mean missing a withdrawal bleed, which might be normal and manageable. Symptoms are often mild, and you might notice some spotting or a shift in the pattern of menstrual-like bleeding, but these effects are generally not harmful. If more significant symptoms develop, like unexpected heavy bleeding or severe pain, it’s wise to reach out for medical attention promptly. Commonly, adjusting the pill schedule should be discussed with your healthcare provider because each patient’s situation can be different. Additionally, ensure stress and lifestyle habits, like diet and sleep, are well-managed, as they contribute to overall wellbeing. If you ever encounter these situations again, keeping a medication diary or using reminders can help prevent inconsistencies in pill-taking. While waiting for your doctor’s specific advice, these steps could be helpful, but always prioritize direct medical guidance if available.
