Can Arthrotec Cause Delayed Period?
Hi, I am a 23yr old girl, I started having back pain and my doctor prescribed athrotec which contains 75mg diclofenac and 200mcg misoprostol. My period was meant to start on Thursday night and that was the day I took the drug, I haven t seen it since then and today is the 29th day. Is the drug delaying my period?

Hi,
Since arthrotec contains misoprostol which is a hormonal medication it can cause delay in periods . dont worry. if your periods are delayed by more than 7 days then consult a gynaecologist.
