General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,
Self medication is always risky and it should not be encouraged.
And self medication with hormone medicines should never be taken without expert opinion.
In her case evaluation of her case is required for not having pregnancy.
She should consult Gynaec and proper examination and investigations are required and plan of treatment can be decided.
Taking one or two tablet of this type medicine is not going to help her and one should other side effects of hormonal medicines as well.
Ok and take care.
