Is A Delayed Period Due To Pregnancy Or A Champix Side Effect?
I started taking Champix on the 21st August, the start date of my last period was 16th August and have not had my period since. This means that i am now 5 weeks from the start of my period. Could i be pregnant or is this a side effect of Champix? Thank you

hello dear
Understand your concern
Champix very rarely cause menstrual irregularity (less than 0.1 percent)
You should wait for period to come. If period will delayed by 10 days, you should go for pregnancy test.
Some time excessive stress, change in dietary habit, smoking cessation, change in life style, hormonal imbalance cause delay in the period.
Avoid stress, eat healthy diet and fresh fruits like papaya, orange and pineapple. start stretching and relaxation exercise.
Hope this may help you
Best regards
