Hello
Thanks for writing to us with your health concern.
Mensovit plus is not approved or used for getting your delayed periods.
Please tell me a few things -
1.What is normal pattern of your menses. If you last bled on 8th of October, when would your next period be expected ?
2. You had sex on the 25th day , meaning you had sex on 1st of November ?
3. Was it protected or unprotected sex ?
4. What is your height and weight ?
5. Do you always have regular cycles, have you never had delayed periods ?

Brief Answer:
NO USE OF MENSOVIT PLUS

Detailed Answer:
First and foremost, please take a pregnancy test after 5 days if you do not have your period by then.
If it is negative you need to take progesterone tablets for withdrawal bleed.
Please consult me if the test is negative.
I repeat = Do not take mensovit plus tablets, they are of no use.
Repeat your TSH level also, it should be measured every 6 weeks, uncontrolled thyroid issues can cause delayed cycles.
Take care.

Brief Answer:
MEPRATE CAN BE TAKEN, BETTER SEE YOUR DOCTOR FIRST

Detailed Answer:
Generally you should be taking Meprate 10 mg twice a day for 5 days, after completing the course, you would get a withdrawal bleeding after a week at the most.
It is not recommended to take this drug without seeing your doctor first and having an internal evaluation, hormonal test ( TSH ) and pelvic ultrasound scan to rule out any other reason for the irregular cycles.
Take care.
