Then I was curious, and I went to the pharmacist, who was showing signs of resentment on his face, from the girl’s insistence on what she wanted. And inquiringly asked him about this drug, which he initially refused to give the girl, and the reason for her insistence on buying it! The pharmacist’s response to my question was that he said, “They are young and unmarried. They play with hormones, lest they break their fast during Ramadan.”

This warning was approved by Dr. Fatima Younis, a specialist in internal medicine at Al-Amin Hospital, who indicated that "these pills that girls use during Ramadan, to stop the menstrual cycle, harm girls who have a hormonal imbalance."
