Hi dear user, thanks for asking to us.
Your sister is 17 years old and I will answer with an assumption that there is no chance of pregnancy.
Irregular and heavy bleeding is common in adolescent age group because their cycles are anovulatory. In addition, your sister is having physical and mental stress which can also lead to irregular cycles. In my opinion, you should wait for at least 2 more weeks before starting any hormonal treatment for periods.
Hope this helps.
