Suggest Treatment After Taking Wrong Birth Control Pills Causing Early Menstrual Bleeidng

Posted on Thu, 17 Dec 2015

Question: I have had a mistake taking my birth control pill and I bleeded one week before my period. I asked here what I should do with the pills, if I should continue the package or start a new one ( I just had the inactive pills left) the answer was to start a new package and I did, but I am still bleeding. This is the moment that I should have a period but since I started a new package I thought I would stop bleeding. what should I do?

Brief Answer:
Keep taking pills

Detailed Answer:
Hello mam, thanks for trusting health care magic and good to be in touch with you again.
You need not to do anything and keep taking the pills as before.
Bleeding will stop by itself and this no treatment needed except taking Tablet TRANEXEMIC Acid 500mg Twice a day for 3 days which is just a simple drug to stop bleeding commonly used for this purpose.

thank you so much to answer my questions! I was wondering if I don't take the tranexemic would I stop bleeding anyways at some point? Also, is it safe to have sex without other kind of protection?

Yes dear even if you don't take tranexemic acid, only regular intake of these pills will stop your bleeding.
