What Causes Late Period After Taking Althea Pills?

I started taking althea even I haven't have my menstruation yet. Because I read in the paper inside the box of althea pills that its ok to take during the menstruation or any other time. I haven't finish all the tablet so I don't have may menstruation for almost 1month more. Am i safe?I'm worried about it.

Hi,
Althea pills are usually taken starting from day one of the menstrual cycle, but they can also be taken at any time, the only precaution being that pregnancy has been excluded before taking them in such a manner and follow up with condoms is done for first seven days. In the current scenario, you should go for n estimation of the serum beta-hCG titres, if you do not see a period within the seven days of pill break. A trans-vaginal sonogram and a clinical evaluation by an expert are also needed. Take care.
