Can Althea Pills Be Taken During Menstruation?

Hi Doctor! I just had an abortion 3 days ago and now I'm bleeding and I guess this is already my period. It flows normally just like my monthly period. It's my 3rd day of menstruation today but I am thinking of taking Althea pills for my acne treatment. Is it advisable for me to take this pill one of these days? or should I wait for my next menstrual period? I'll wait for your answer Doc. Thank You.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you want to take althea pill for acne during mensuration you can start today itself need not to worry about it I would suggest you to take it on regular basis without forgetting. If you forget in morning take it at night time, ideally prefer on same time of day. Wash your face with face-wash containing salicylic acid , exfoliate your skin once a week. Apply clindamycin gel on these acne and visit dermatologist once if symptoms keeps on persisting and get it examined. Start treatment after proper prescription.

Hope your concern has been resolved.
