Hi,

Oral contraceptive pill dose should not be doubled in case of over-weight women. It will only cause increase in side effects and does not have any added benefit. I would suggest you to reduce your weight within normal BMI since reduction in weight itself can bring about hormonal balance and can regulate your menstrual cycles. You can continue with the same dose of the pill.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Saranya Ramadoss, General & Family Physician
