Providing the Ocella (drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol) pills are taken as directed below, they should be effective as a contraceptive after seven days.
From the Ocella product label:
DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION Oral Contraception
To achieve maximum contraceptive effectiveness, drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol tablets must be taken exactly as directed at intervals not exceeding 24-hours.
Drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol tablets consists of 24 pink active tablets of a monophasic combined hormonal preparation plus 4 inert white tablets. The dosage of drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol tablets is one pink tablet daily for 24 consecutive days followed by 4 white inert tablets per menstrual cycle. A patient should begin to take drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol tablets either on the first day of
her menstrual period (Day 1 Start) or on the first Sunday after the onset of her menstrual period (Sunday Start).
