I take medication to stop inconvenient periods, but have only ever had this prescribed as an adult ... DD is 13, going on a school holiday including waterparks etc and it's likely to be round the time of her period. She's not yet comfortable with the idea of using tampons (we have discussed, and will discuss again... ) If you are a doctor/pharmacist/mother of teenage DD with direct experience... is the "period stopping" medication suitable for young girls or not? I don't want to build up DD's hopes just to get to Dr's appointment to find out that they wouldn't recommend this for such a young girl (would understand why, just don't want to build up DD's hopes if not)
