Brief Answer:
Can take it

Detailed Answer:
Hello mam, thanks for trusting health care magic.
Yes you can take it till you want to delay your periods.
But chances of breakthrough bleeding increases in case taken for more than 14 days.
So keep taking it till you want to postpone periods and in case (10% cases) you get breakthrough bleeding then stop the drug and let your periods continue.
All the best.
Regards
Dr Manisha

I get a sensation that my periods would start.
in such a case, would u prescribe a certain time of the day when i should consume the tablet, as in pre or post meals? day time or at night?
and obviously would maintain 24hrs gap for next dose.

Brief Answer:
Prefer night consumption

Detailed Answer:
This feeling of upcoming periods will stay and is very common so nothing much to worry.
Take pill anytime with no relation to meals except that if taken at night time the nauseous feeling after consumption of the pills goes away in sleep so you feel normal in day time.
