Continuing to Take Birth Control Medication to Complete Fasting

Question
A woman takes birth control medication, which prevents menstruation. Is it permissible for her to continue taking it to fast for consecutive days, knowing that she has to make up twenty days? Is it also permissible to take this contraceptive during Ramadan?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: It is disliked if it causes harm, and God knows best.
