A member asked:
I am on penicillin for about a month now, a week ago i started seeing my period but by the afternoon it stopped. can penicillin delay periods?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: Penicillin should not delay a regular menstrual period. Maybe the "reason for using penicillin" could have delayed a period (that reason is not stated in the question). As long as the next regular period comes, one delayed or missed period is usually not a big concern.
