Answer
Hello Alexa from the U.S. (Las Vegas),

This is a question best posed to your doctor since he/she put you on the medication.  It is the responsibility of the doctor to make sure that his/her patients are taking and using the prescribed medication correctly.  If he/she did not, then you need to find a BETTER doctor.

To induce a period usually you only need to take 1 tablet per day for 5 days.

Good Luck,
