What Causes Early Periods After Switching From Rigevidon To Mercilon?

Hello, I took rigevidon and have swapped to mercilon (with a week break in between when my period was.)Now my period has come 6 days early. Should I stop taking mercilon, and have a 7 day break now? Or should I carry on taking it, and have the break when I finish the packet?

Hello, welcome to HCM. with the change of tablet, the period changes has happened. Now you don't have to take the tablets. After fifth day of periods (counting first day of periods as one ), start taking the fresh packet tablets from sixth day. As the effect on the hormone also changes, there is disturbance in the cycle. It may take another one or two cycles to become regular.If they have given tablets for the break days, then you can take those in the 5 period days. Eat healthy diet and fluid which will avoid body strain. Take care
