Ive been told to take gynaset twice a day for five days to trigger my period. If I stop taking it, will I get my period right away? Im planning to travel on the 18th and started the medication on the 5th. Will my period be finished by the time I need to leave, or should I keep taking the gynaset until my trip is over to push back the period? Could use some advice!

Periods are expected to start 2-7 days after stopping these tablets. In order to be sure to avoid periods during travel, you can take the tablets till the day of travel or until the day you complete your travel.

I've been taking one meftal spas tablet on the first day of my periods to deal with painful cramps, and it usually helps with the pain pretty quickly. But I've noticed that my bleeding has really lessened over time. I only bleed for around two days now, and then there's just a bit of brown or blackish discharge. I'm wondering if the medication could be causing this change, or could there be some other reason for it?

Reduced bleeding and the brown or black spotting you are experiencing could be due to the use of Meftal Spas tablet. Meftal Spas contains a combination of Dicyclomine and Mefenamic Acid, which is commonly used to relieve menstrual pain and cramps. However, if you are concerned about the changes in your menstrual bleeding pattern, it is advisable to consult with your gynecologist for further evaluation and management.
