Period problem

2019-03-09 16:18:43
My sister is 13 years old and she has abnormal periods. That is her period goes on for 20 days but not heavily. We consulted a doctor and she prescribed meprate 20 mg tablet twice a day. We wanted second opinion if it is safe to use this tablet for a 13 year old because of fear of side effects.
