What is the significance of '24' in contraceptive labeling?

Indicates the number of phases in hormone levels
Indicates a 24-hour effectiveness
Indicates 24 active pills for a shorter placebo period
Indicates the pill must be taken 24 times a month

The correct answer is: Indicates 24 active pills for a shorter placebo period

In contraceptive labeling, the significance of '24' typically denotes that there are 24 active pills in the pack, allowing for a shorter placebo period. This helps ensure continuous hormonal coverage over an extended period, reducing the likelihood of an unintended pregnancy. The option stating that it indicates the number of phases in hormone levels doesn't accurately reflect the standard use of '24' in contraceptive labeling. Option B and option D are also incorrect as they do not correspond with the common convention of '24' in this context.
