I've been experiencing very painful menstrual cramps and my doctor recommended I try Meftal Spas tablets. They've been really helpful in relieving my pain for about 5 to 6 hours, and I've been taking them whenever the pain gets too intense. But now I'm noticing that my periods are getting delayed and the cramps seem to be even more painful. Could these things be side effects of the tablets?

Meftal Spas is a commonly used medication for menstrual pain, but frequent use can sometimes affect the regularity of your periods or increase pain in some cases. It's important to use it cautiously and consult your doctor if you notice changes in your cycle or increased discomfort, as they may need to adjust your treatment plan.

I'm really worried about my 15-year-old daughter who has PCOS. She's been on Krimson 35 and Aldactone for 7 months and took Isotret 20 for 3 months. Her periods have become regular, and her pimples have cleared up, but she still has scars. I'm wondering if she can stop her medication now. If we stop Krimson 35, will her periods become irregular again?
