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

Hi krishna antibiotics delays periods is a myth. Wait for the periods or go for pregnancy test if you think so.

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.
