Does Taking Linctus Cough Syrup Delay Periods?

Hi, My period is due tomorrow, and I m hoping that I might have gotten pregnant this month. However I have a very bad cough, and have been taking Simple Lynctus cough mixture to help. Will this affect my period cycle if I have been unsuccessful in getting pregnant?

Hi
Welcome.
Pregnancy can not be confirmed with only symptoms. You need to go for urine pregnancy test after a week of missed period and with morning sample as it is more sensitive.
It is less likely to affect your period
Hope this helps.
Take care
