Are the sugar pills of birth control still effective?
No. The last seven pills in 28-day packs of combination pills are called "reminder" pills. They do not contain hormones. So the sugar pills of birth control are not effective, they are just to keep you taking pills so you don't forget the start of the next cycle of pills.

About Birth Control Pills
Birth control pills prevent pregnancy by stopping ovulation, or the release of an egg into the ovaries. Birth control pills contain hormones -- estrogen, progestin or both -- which prevent the egg from being released before menstruation. If no egg is released, a sperm cannot join with it. Hense, pregnancy is prevented. There are many different pills, so consult with your doctor to choose one that is right for you.
