Does A Deworming Tablet Cause Delayed Periods?
Hi, i am 6 days late for my period. i have taken in the past 6 days a deworming tablet. can this be any reason why my period is late. if i remember correctly the deworming medication was called Zentel. it was a single dose tablet. Could it have affected my period in any way

Hi,
No, Antihelmentic (Zentel) is not known to cause delay in periods. The delay in your case might be hormonal imbalance due to ill health (following worm infestation) or psychological stress (provided there is no ovarian or thyroid problem to cause hormonal imbalance).
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
