Doctor's answer:
Progestin tablets can be used to delay menstruation, but progestin tablets come in many varieties. If you are taking Angelica Sinensis Progestin Tablets, this is relatively inexpensive and should be taken 10 days in advance under the premise of regular menstruation. That is to say, if your period starts on October 1st, you need to start taking the medication on September 20th. If the time from now until your period is less than 10 days, it may not be effective even if you take it. Within the 10-day range, once you start taking the medication, you must continue until your period arrives. For example, if your period starts on October 3rd, you must continue taking the medication for several more days because menstruation usually occurs 3 to 7 days after stopping the medication. The correct dosage is two tablets twice a day.
