If you missed a dose of Fu'an tablets on Saturday and started bleeding on Tuesday, you should continue taking the medication as prescribed. However, it's advisable to consult your healthcare provider for personalized guidance based on your specific situation?
Hello, I would like to ask the doctor if I should stop taking the medication after experiencing bleeding.
I was prescribed a daily dose of a medication for uterine lining clearance, but I missed a dose on Saturday.
I resumed taking it on Sunday, and by Tuesday, I started bleeding, which seems like my period.
Should I stop taking the medication? Thank you.

I would like to ask the doctor, in order to ensure the uterine lining is cleared, I was prescribed one tablet of Femara daily.
However, I missed a dose on Saturday and resumed taking it on Sunday.
By Tuesday, I started bleeding and continued to take the medication while still bleeding, which seems to indicate that my period has started.
Should I stop taking Femara? Answer: Yes, stop taking it.

More Info
When it comes to the use of Fuyan Pills (婦安錠) during menstrual bleeding, it is essential to consider the purpose of the medication and the nature of your menstrual cycle. Fuyan Pills are often prescribed for various gynecological conditions, including the regulation of menstrual cycles and the management of endometrial health.
If you have been prescribed Fuyan Pills to help clear the uterine lining or for other specific reasons, it is generally advisable to continue taking the medication as directed by your healthcare provider, even if you experience menstrual bleeding. However, the presence of menstrual bleeding can sometimes indicate that your body is naturally shedding the uterine lining, which may lead to questions about the necessity of continuing the medication.
Here are some key points to consider:
1. Consult Your Healthcare Provider: The best course of action is to consult with your healthcare provider regarding your specific situation. They can provide personalized advice based on your medical history, the reason for prescribing Fuyan Pills, and the nature of your menstrual bleeding.
2. Understanding Menstrual Bleeding: If the bleeding you are experiencing is consistent with your normal menstrual cycle, it may be a sign that your body is functioning as expected. In this case, continuing the medication may still be beneficial, depending on your doctor's recommendations.
3. Potential Interactions: If you are experiencing heavy bleeding or any unusual symptoms (such as severe pain or clotting), it is crucial to seek medical attention. Heavy bleeding can sometimes indicate a need to reassess your treatment plan.
4. Medication Compliance: It is important to take medications as prescribed. Missing doses can affect the efficacy of the treatment. If you missed a dose, it is generally recommended to take it as soon as you remember, unless it is close to the time of your next dose. In that case, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular schedule.
5. Monitoring Symptoms: Keep track of your symptoms while on Fuyan Pills. If you notice any significant changes in your menstrual cycle, such as increased bleeding, severe pain, or other concerning symptoms, report these to your healthcare provider.
6. Long-term Management: If you find that your menstrual cycles are consistently irregular or if you have concerns about the effects of Fuyan Pills on your menstrual health, discuss alternative treatment options with your doctor. They may suggest adjustments to your medication or additional therapies to better manage your symptoms.
In summary, while it is generally safe to continue taking Fuyan Pills during menstrual bleeding, the best approach is to consult with your healthcare provider for tailored advice. They can help you determine whether to continue the medication based on your individual circumstances and ensure that you are receiving the most appropriate care for your health needs.
