Ruling on Blood Caused by Taking Medication

Question
I took a medication that affects my menstrual cycle, and for the past (3) days, I have seen light brown color, so I continued to pray and fast. Then something black and clotted came out, and I have only been accustomed to seeing normal blood; should she continue her fast and pray?
Answer

I say, and with Allah's success: It is considered menstrual blood unless the doctor informs her that it is not menstrual blood, and Allah knows best.
