Should I Take Althea Pills During Menses?
Hi .. I have polycystic on my both ovaries and my ob told me to try althea pills for 2months .. After i take one pack , on the 6th days of free-pills days (which is 7days) i have a menstruation .. Should i take another pack on the 8th day or wait until my period stop? If i take another pack, will my period stop?

Hello,
I can understand your concern. You should start the new pack on the 8th day if you have got periods on the 7th day. That would be 2nd day of your periods to make myself clear. You can start the pills between 2nd to 5th day but not after the periods are over to get the desired benefits of the pills. The pills will not make your periods stop. You will get your usual periods only.
I hope this answer helps you. Thank you for choosing HealthcareMagic. Let me know if you have follow up questions.
Best,
Dr. Viraj Shah
