Answered as per Shafi'i Fiqh by Darul Iftaa Jordan
Is it permissible to delay menses by using medication in order to fast Ramadhaan?

Answer:
It is permissible for a woman to use medication in order to delay her menses so that it becomes lawful for her to fast Ramadhaan, but it is better that she doesn`t do so, and taking the medication is prohibited if she, or her doctors know that it involves a risk on her health.
