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 had protected sex with my partner and she got her period the next day, but it came 10 days earlier than usual. It's been about 30 hours now and she's not bleeding anymore. Is there a chance she could be pregnant? I'm a bit worried and just want to understand what's going on.
