Wants To Postpone Periods. Prescribed Utovlan, Had Early Onset Of Periods. Will Medication Stop Periods?
Hi. I was due to start my period on Friday. And I wanted to stop it as I was going on holiday on the Thursday. So I went to the doctors on Monday to get a prescription of utovlan. I was going to collect it and start taking it Tuesday morning. But when I woke up I noticed I was starting to bleed a little. Started my period early. Can I still take the tablets to stop it as I have only just started? Thank you

Hello,
Thanks for posting your query on health care magic.
No, you cannot stop your periods once it is started.
Medicines will not help you in anyway now.
It is always better to avoid postponement of menstrual cycle unless very much necessary.
It may lead to prolonged irregular periods later on.
Hope this helps.
regards,
Dr Nilofer
