Would you please clarify the meaning of "PLAC" here?

0.03 mg + LEVONORGESTREL 0.15 mg + PLAC Blister of 28 tab1.

Many thanks!

I think PLAC in this context might stand for "placebo".

So in your provided example:

"0.03 mg + LEVONORGESTREL 0.15 mg + PLAC Blister of 28 tab1,"

It likely indicates that some of the 28 tablets in the blister pack are placebos. These are usually included in birth control pill packs to maintain a routine of daily pill-taking without providing active hormones during certain days.
Peer comment(s):

agree philgoddard : But 'PLAC blister' suggests Ali may be parsing it wrongly - the blister contains the drug and the placebo.
