Hi Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern..
No in your case meprate should not be used for delaying your period. Meprate can be used for irregular periods, in case of hormonal imbance.
As you had intercourse on 21th of December, you might be pregnant & this might be reason for delay in periods. If you are pregnant then taking meprate will not help & nothing could be done to induce your periods.
First of all you should get checked for pregnancy by doing a pregnancy test. It is easy & reliable & can be done at home by a home pregnancy kit. If you are pregnant you should undergo your gynaecologist & can undergo an abortion under her guidance. If you are not pregnant you should also get checked for diagnosis & treatment plan for absence of periods in you.

Refer to your gynaecologist
Hope this information helps
