Paladol is to treat increased levels of Prolactin. It would correct menstrual irregularity due to the hyper-prolactinimia. It acts during ovulation phase but it's not used for delaying periods. Drug like Primolut-N taken on the days of period as per your gynecologists advise can delay tour period.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hi,
Parlodel is a medication that contains bromocriptine, which is commonly used to treat conditions such as hyperprolactinemia, Parkinson's disease, and acromegaly. It works by decreasing the levels of prolactin, a hormone that plays a role in menstrual cycles. Although Parlodel can affect menstrual cycles, it is not typically used to delay menstruation. It can sometimes cause menstrual irregularities, such as changes in the timing, duration, and amount of menstrual bleeding.
If you are experiencing discomfort in your pelvic region and your period is delayed, it is important to speak with your healthcare provider to determine the underlying cause and appropriate treatment. They may suggest conducting a pregnancy test and/or performing an examination to check for any other potential issues.
