Dear Doctor, I am 25 years old and married. Due to slight infection the specialist doctor suggested me to intake Topcef 200 for 5 days! One in morning and one at night after food. I took Topcef 200 for 5 days as doctor prescribed. I am very much regular on my periods. Every month I get my periods on correct date. My doubt is that, will Topcef 200 delay my periods of this month? I have heard antibiotics do delay periods. Will that happen? Now my periods is delayed for 6 days. It had never happened before. So i am confused whether it is the side effect of Topcef or am I pregnant? I feel pain in my breasts too! Please guide me doctors! I am waiting for a detailed reply. Kindly help doctor!

Cefixime can have some inhibitory action on platelets, which may lead to some increased menstrual bleeding. It does not have any hormonal action and does not interfere with your menstrual cycle. If your periods are delayed for more than a week, better to get a urinary pregnancy test done. Pain in breasts could be due to various reasons, pregnancy being one of them. If you want to discuss your symptoms or queries further, feel free to contact me directly.
