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've been taking Meprate for 5 days, twice a day, but it's been 15 days since I stopped and I still haven't gotten my period. I have PCOD and my prolactin level is 0.32. The pregnancy test was negative. Can you help me understand why Im not getting my period? I'm getting really worried.

your body might have not received enough dose, visit Gynaecologist for one more cycle of tablets.

I had unprotected sex on the 15th of May, the day after my period ended. I took an Unwanted 72 pill afterward, but then my period returned on the 19th of May and hasn't stopped since. I'm 19 years old and really worried about this. What should I do?

It seems like the unwanted 72 pill may have caused a hormonal imbalance leading to prolonged bleeding. I recommend you to take Tranexamic acid 500mg thrice a day for 3-5 days to help stop the excessive bleeding. If the bleeding persists or becomes heavy, please consult a doctor for further evaluation and management.

I'm a bit worried since my wife is just 7 weeks pregnant and her doctor has suggested she take ecosprin 150 every night before bed. Is it really okay to start this medication so early in the pregnancy? It's our second baby, and everything has been smooth so far, no complications or miscarriages or anything.

is there any health issues, refer to gynecologist.
