Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

Unclear : It is not clear why you are taking this particular regimen. This is not a very common combination for a 43 year old. Before stopping a medication i recommend discussing with the prescribing doctor. It is important to know why you are taking these medication before we could advise someone to stop them.
