Hey, I've been diagnosed with PCOS and my ob-gyn recommended I take Althea pills. I'm a bit worried thoughwhat happens if I get my period before finishing the 21 days of pills? Should I stop for 7 days and then continue with the remaining pills? I'm just a little confused about how to handle this.

If you get your period before completing the 21 days of Althea pills, continue taking the pills as prescribed until you finish the full 21 days. There's no need to stop the pills for 7 days; just complete the pack and start the next one on time. Always check with your doctor for personalized advice.

Continue Taking Pills: Do not stop the Althea pills early. Complete the 21-day course even if you experience bleeding.
-
7-Day Break: After finishing the 21 days, take the 7-day break as advised. This allows for withdrawal bleeding.
-
Monitor Bleeding: If bleeding is heavy or unusual, contact your doctor for advice.

Follow Doctor’s Instructions: Always adhere to your OB-GYN’s specific guidance.

I'm two months pregnant and my doctor suggested I take doxinate for managing nausea. I'm just wondering, when's the best time to take doxinate during the first trimester?
-Hi! You can take Doxinate 30 minutes before meals, especially in the morning, to help prevent nausea throughout the day. If your nausea worsens at specific times, adjust accordingly, like taking it at night for morning sickness. Always follow your doctor
