Will Taking Meprate Cause Abortion?

Dear Doctor,



I never had irregular periods all these years and im 27 years old now. I have a girl baby of 2 years old.

My LMP Date is 01/12/11. But this month i yet to get my periods and hence started having MEPRATE from 9th night and till today morning i have taken about 8 tablets. But still i didnt get my periods :( Im worried abt whether i would have been pregnant. My question is if im pregnant, will this tablet itself withdraw the pregnancy. Or should i take some other treatment for this. Kindly reply.

Hello ma'am and welcome.

You need to discontinue the medication after a 5 day course and you will then experience a withdrawal bleed in 3-5 days time. Please always speak to your doctor in detail regarding the instructions of use of all medications, and NEVER self-preacribe.

And before initiation of this medication, pregnancy needs to be ruled out as it can cause harm to the fetus.

Hope this helps.

Best wishes.
