Yes, you can take paracetamol or ibuprofen before a hysteroscopy with local anesthesia to help with cramping. It's generally recommended to take them 1 hour before the procedure. You may take ibuprofen 400mg every 8 hours or paracetamol 1 gram every 6 hours

I'm a bit concerned because I've been taking Folligrow tablets for my hair for about two weeks, and my period, which was due on March 1st, still hasn't started. I'm wondering if taking Folligrow might be causing this delay. Could the tablets be affecting my menstrual cycle?

I'm really concerned about how long Trenaxa MF takes to stop heavy bleeding, especially since I have PCOS. I'm trying to figure out the right dosage for my condition but I'm unsure. Also, if the bleeding doesn't stop, how many doses should I take before I start getting worried? I'm just feeling a bit anxious about this whole thing and would appreciate some guidance.
