Brief Answer:
I do not think she needs medication
Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXX,
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic.
As you stated the irregular periods are side effects of plan B and it is due to some imbalance in hormones there is nothing to worry about her periods. On many occasions it takes three months to have regular periods again. The risk increases if the women have low hemoglobin.
To be on safer side I will request you to do following from nearby laboratory.
Hemoglobin
Thyroid function tests such as T3 T 4 and TSH
IN addition you can take urine pregnancy test which can be done at home with use of kit that is available over the counter at most medical stores.
With reports revert back to me for further guidance.
I hope this helps you.
If you have more questions feel free to write back to me.
Thanks and regards.
