Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
I think your menstruation will come 7 days after finishing Althea since it contains 21 active pills. You are protected during this period.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Olgeta Xhufka
