Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
I think you can start the medicine on day 4 of your periods. But you need to get it evaluated. Get a thyroid profile and prolactin level and an ultrasound done to see uterus and ovaries to find out the cause of irregular periods. You may need some hormonal treatment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Khushboo Priya
