Brief Answer:
Can cause menstrual irregularities.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
Since she has already taken I-pills there is no way to reduce the side effects now.
One of its side effect is menstrual irregularity. Period may come early or late depending upon when you take this medicine with regard to your natural cycle. Other side effects include nausea, headache, pain abdomen, heaviness in breast, etc.
That said, I must warn you that, taking this medicine in this pattern is not a good habit & can prove detrimental to her reproductive health. Rather she should opt for a regular, safer & more reliable contraception. She may discuss this matter at a family planning clinic or with a Gynecologist in your area.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.

Please recommend a brand of oral contraceptives which are easily available and the dosage.
Brief Answer:
These are not available over the counter.
Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
Oral pills are prescription drugs and should be prescribed after a physical examination to rule out any contraindicating factors. She will have to consult a gynecologist for this. There are many brands available like Femilon, Ovral, Yaz, etc. Her gynecologist will choose the one best for her.
Hope my answer is helpful.
