Brief Answer:
No medicine to prepone, can postpone

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
There is no medicine to prepone the periods.
However, you can postpone the periods till the day you want.
To postpone the periods, start taking tablet primulet N from 5 days before the date of expected periods and continue till the day you want to delay the periods.
The periods will occur within 5-7 days of stopping the medicine.
Hope you found the answer helpful.

i have a religious function for 1 month sooo postponement will also be a problem

Brief Answer:
OCPs

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear, in this scenario, you can start with oral contraceptive pills like femilon from today onwards and continue till 8 th November, then the withdrawal bleeding is likely to occur before 14th November. However, it can start a bit delayed also, and hence this method is not very accurate in dating.

It's not for any dating purpose we are going to visit the religious pilgrims....will there be any side effects of using the medicine.....please provide me with a solution

Answered by Dr. Deepti Verma (16 hours later)

Brief Answer:
No side effects

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
By dating I meant the dating of the periods, and not otherwise.
There will be no side effects of the OCPs taken for such short interval.
However, I still recommend to postpone the periods as that is a better alternative with no doubts.
