Thanks for trusting hcm about your health care.
I have gone through your history and understand your concerns.
Mesoprostol is usually used for abortion and dilatation of cervix during pregnancy.
It is not used for prepone menses.
Primolut n used for prepone menses.
So you should wait and watch for it.
