Hi

Meprate tablets contain progesterone.

In normal menstrual cycle when progesterone levels decrease in the body then only bleeding will start.

When we take this tablets , it helps in maintaining the levels of progesterone. So period will postpone till we continue this tablets.

You can continue this tablets till the date you want to postpone your period.

With in a week you will get your periods after stopping tablets.

No side effects due to this tablets.

You can try for baby in your next cycle only . No effects on pregnancy.
