Hello,
Brown discharge is indicative of old blood. It is a common occurrence especially when your menstruation is about to resume after a period of amenorrhea. Continue the current treatment as prescribed. You will likely start your menstrual cycles soon.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
