Could Medication For Cough And Cold Cause Delayed Periods?
Good day! I am worried because my menstruation was delayed for 3weeks but before and after my expected arrival of my menstruation I suffered from cough and cold and had been taking medicines. Would it be possible that the medicines I take the cause of my delayed menstruation.thanks

Hello,
It is common for women to miss a period after a period of illness or stress. So it may be the illness itself rather than the medication that caused you to miss your periods. This is all due to temporary hormonal imbalance. If you tested negative for pregnancy, then there is nothing to worry about. You can wait a month or two for your periods.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
