What Causes Delayed Periods After Taking Duoluton?

Hello doctor , I used to suffer from menstrual cramps during my periods every month. Hence, I consulted a gynecologist last month for the treatment . The doctor prescribed me duoluton tablets for 18 days and i was regularly using it as recommended by him.Usually i have my periods on 23- 24 days of the month but this month my periods has been delayed by 6 days till date. I am worried , will it create any problem in getting pregnant in future course of time . should i stop taking this tablets , please suggest

Hello and welcome to HCM.
I have gone through your question.
You said you got menses after 6 days of expected date.But this can't be called as irregular as variation of 7-9 days plus minus do occur normally depending on physiological changes in body.
When these criteria is met and happens repeatedly every month,then one can suspect irregularity.
You just have to keep an eye on following symptoms while you are on doulton like-
severe headache,vision problems,abdominal pain,chest pain,pain in calf muscles and report to gynaecologist immediately if any of these occurs.
I recommend-
-Follow your prescribed medicines as directed.
- Take iron supplements.
-Regular exercise and keep weight within control
-Balanced and healthy diet
Hope this information helps.
Thanks and regards.
