A member asked:
I have been on a birth control called amethyst for 1 1/2 months. i have been having heavy bleeding for almost 3 weeks straight. should i stop the birth control?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I always counsel my patients with the benefits and risks of oral contraceptives, such as Amethyst. If continued birth control is desired, side effects such as heavy period can be managed with a short trial of an non-steroidal anti-inflammatory or short trial of additional oral hormones
