Hi,
Both the PCOD and the drug that is given for this can cause the irregular period. So it is better to continue the prescribed medicine once you finished the course of PCOD. Menstruation will be regular but in the initial phase of therapy irregular period is pretty common and it is nothing to worry.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
