A member asked:

Doctor gave me ponstan when i told her my period is two weeks late. why? related much?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not related,: Are you sure it was "ponstan", most likely "ponstel". Ponstel (mefenamic acid) is used for uterine cramping symptoms of your menstrual cycle. It has nothing to do the the length of your cycle.
