My dermatologist doubled my dose of Melano TX tablet used for Melasma on 3rd Feb, before this I was on 1 capsule per day. This month my period is delayed by a week and I am not sexually active. My periods are normally on time. Does Melano TX have an effect on the menstrual cycle? Please let me know. Thank you.

Dear sir/madam! Myself PATIENT from orai Uttar Pradesh my age is 28 of years and I'm suffering from melasma scars over my face continuously from last five years, several times i got them treated from expert dermatologists but all gone vain. As i continue the medicine they disappear and when i discontinue the medicine they again appears. They look incurable. Just lately i heared about hormonal problem with thyroid gland which is highly responsible for this type of problem. Now should i go through thyroid gland test if there is any problem with that, that may be detected. Please send suggestions. Reply regards. PATIENT
