Doctor, my wife’s period date was on the 24th, but it’s now been a week late. She sometimes has irregular cycles. Should she take the Unwanted tablet (Mifepristone 200 mg)?

Have a query?

It sounds like you're wondering whether to take a tablet to induce menstruation given a delayed period and irregular cycles.
It's important to consider a few key points before deciding to take medication to induce menstruation:
Irregular periods can be common and may not always require medication. Stress, lifestyle changes, or hormonal fluctuations can cause delays.
Since it has only been a week past the expected date, and the patient has irregular cycles, it might be too soon to take any medication.
Taking tablets to induce menstruation without medical advice can sometimes cause side effects or mask underlying issues.
It is advisable to consult a gynecologist who can evaluate the situation, possibly perform tests if needed, and recommend appropriate treatment.
If pregnancy is a possibility, a pregnancy test should be done before considering any medication.
In summary, rather than self-medicating, seeking professional medical advice is the safest approach to managing delayed or irregular periods.
If you experience severe pain, heavy bleeding, or other concerning symptoms, please seek immediate medical attention or contact emergency services.
