Hello,

Femilion is a hormonal contraceptive pill. Its timings are very important because of hormonal changes during the menstrual cycle. So restart your new pack on the 2nd day of your menstrual bleeding. Don't stop drug in-between.

Continue for the period you want to be infertile. Stop the drug once you are planning for pregnancy. Don't worry, you will be alright.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Kaushal Bhavsar, Pulmonologist
