Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Daphne pills has active ingredient 'Lynestrenol'.
Althea pills consists of Cyproterone Acetate and Ethinyl Estradiol.
When you take such hormone preparations and change the medications with different combinations, you could anticipate symptoms related to menstrual disturbances like delay in getting periods.
Kindly wait for 10 days and if you do not get your periods by then, you would need to be evaluated and treated accordingly by suitable medication.
Kindly consult Gynecologist in this regard for evaluation and management.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
Regards,
Dr.Ashakiran.S.,
