Hi lybrate-user, That is a very good question. Possibly one of the reasons it is not popular is because it is to be taken twice weekly and not daily and there is a chance patients may forget to take one or more doses. Secondly, it may lead to amenorrhoea or stoppage of menstrual cycles temporarily and patients are not comfortable with that, Not knowing if it is due to a pregnancy or due to the tablets. Hope I have clarified your doubts.
