Could taking anti inflammatory for long time (about 3 weeks) delay period? on bc control
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: To my knowledge an anti-inflammatory could not delay period. If you are on birth control, are you on the birth control pill? The mechanism of an anti-inflammatory doesn't cross over with the mechanism of hormones that control ovaries and uterus. Maybe there are some other health factors that could be interfering with cycle? Other medical conditions?
