My doctor just recommended taking the minigynon with a dosage of 2 in the morning and 2 in the afternoon for 4days and then 1 in the morning and 1 in the afternoon for another 4days, thereafter I should take one per day.

hi,
depo can cause side effects like menstrual irregularities, possibly your bleeding will subside soon, anyhow if the bleeding is continuous and more in quantity better to take treatment as your doctor suggested,
minigynon is a combined oral contraceptive preparation and as your doctor recommended to take high dosage in the first few days it will increase the levels of hormones which will stop the bleeding, then by gradually withdrawing the levels decreases and finally your depo will take over the duty.
take care.
