Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
There is no safe or effective way to stop menstruation right away, so if you want to delay your period due to an appointment next week or next month, you should talk to your doctor about the best method to delay the onset of your period.

I'm a bit worried because last month I took Meprate tablets to delay my period, and I got my period right after I stopped them. But this month, my period is five days late. I'm not sure if it's a side effect of Meprate or if there's a chance I could be pregnant. Should I be concerned and see a doctor?
most common cause for missing periods is pregnancy unless ruled out. In a normal menstrual cycle, a balance between the hormones estrogen and progesterone regulates the buildup of the lining of the uterus (endometrium), which is shed during menstruation. If a hormone imbalance occurs, there will be irregularities in menstrual cycle. Consult Gynecologis
