Hi

OVral G is a hormonal medication which works like any other combined contraceptive pill. Most users take this pill for21 days and have a period there after. To stop periods it can be taken continuously. In that case sometimes break through bleeding is seen ,which is happening in your case. In my patients who are around 40 yrs, smoke, are overweight or havehigh blood pressure I advice hormonal pills only if necessary. It would be a good idea to check with your doctor if you still need to continue the medication .

Let me know if you have any other queries.
Thanks
