Hello,
Thanks for your query.
Since you have missed your periods, you need to rule out pregnancy.
Get urine pregnancy test done.
If you are pregnant, stop these drugs immediately.
All the three drugs are not safe in pregnancy. They cause damage to fetus when consumed in early pregnancy (1st trimester)

Dr Nilofer
