How Will The Medicine, Meprate, Handle An Unplanned Pregnancy?
I missed my periods this month. So I have been prescribed by the doctor to have meprate for 5 days. If in case I am pregnant what will be the role of meprate in this condition? Will it induce my periods or will it help in the pregnancy. Because I do not want a baby at this moment, that is why I am asking that taking meprate will promote pregnancy or not.

Hello and welcome,
Meprate will act in both ways. If there is a pregnancy it will help, if there is no pregnancy stopping it will lead to periods.
So it will not lead to abortion if you are pregnant.
It is better to get a urine pregnancy test done 7 days after the missed period to rule out pregnancy and then decide about meprate.
Hope this satisfies your query.
Thanks for using HCM.
