Question

the contraceptive is used for medical purposes and not to prevent a child-not married

Answer

If an unmarried female is on a contraceptive for medical reasons, she may continue its use as that will be of dual benefit to her, medical as well as to be able to fast. If she does not have to take it for medical reasons then it is advisable for her not to do so as that is disturbing the natural cycle which may have health implications.

and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
