General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello ma'am and welcome.

First of all, pregnancy needs to be ruled out before initiation of this medication. If at all there are chances that you could be pregnant due to sexual contact, etc; then you should first rule out pregnancy.

This medication is a hormonal pill which provides hormonal supply to the body which is normally provided during a normal cycle, once discontinued a withdrawal bleed is triggered which mimics a normal bleed.

Hope this helps.

Best wishes.
