Hi,

Duoluton-L contains 2 hormones: levonorgestrel (a progestin) and ethinyl estradiol (an estrogen) and is commonly prescribed to prevent an unwanted pregnancy and in the treatment of irregular periods. To postpone the periods, it is best taken within the first five days of periods, however it can be started after the periods also. But if you keep delaying the date of tablets too close to the date of periods, you may get your periods as your hormones will not get suppressed. Have one tablet at night now onwards for one week and without a break and you will get your period 2 to 3 days after stopping the tablet however, the time scale may be different for every individual.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Mohammed Taher Ali, General & Family Physician
