Estroplus prescribed
Consulted a gynecologist regarding spotting on 7th and 8th day of periods and also got periods 5 days prior to actual date. Prescribed estroplus medicine for it . I have previously been diagnosed with epilepsy, so I was skeptical about the medicine and its side effects if any , and wanted to ask whether it will be alright to take the medicine alongside my other medications.

Spotting and periods coming a few days early are common reasons doctors prescribe a short course of medicine to regulate the cycle. Whether it's safe alongside your epilepsy treatment isn't something to decide without your neurologist's input.
Next Steps
Please check with your neurologist before starting it, and let your gynaecologist know every medicine you're already on.
Health Tips
Don't skip telling either doctor about the other's treatment, since epilepsy medicines can interact with hormonal ones.
