Hi, thanks for writing..
I understand your concern. Folic acid cant delay your periods. It is just a vitamin supplement. Delayed periods can be due to pregnancy , anxiety etc. Get a pregnancy test now. If not pregnant wait for a week to get periods. If mensus not attained take progesterone for a week. You will get periods in a week after stoppage of drugs. Hope I have answered your query. Good day.
