Hello,
Yes, the medication is normally started a few days before the period is due and continued for the length of time the person does not want the period.
Normally 5 mg strength is used though some persons may use higher. Because 5 mg is the normal dose, your doctor has said to take 5 mg (half of the 10 mg strength).
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Michelle Gibson James
