General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello and welcome to HCM.

Thank you for your query.

The medication prescribed to you is quite appropriate, but the response mentioned can vary from person-to-person. Normally, the medication has two dosages, and you have not mentioned the dosage prescribed. But, if taken for 5 days, in the right dosage, then you should get your period within 3-7 days after taking the last dosage. As mentioned by you, it has only been 3-4 days since your last dose. Do not worry, it shall come soon.

In some individuals, the response can be further delayed, it can even take 7-10 days for a period to come. So do not worry, be patient, I am sure everything will be fine.

I hope I have succeeded in providing the information you were looking for. Please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications. I would gladly help you.

Best wishes.
