What Causes Delay In Menstruation After Taking Taxim O?

I had tooth extraction a week ago and was prescribed taxim O 200mg for 4 days. My periods have been delayed. Is this a side effect of taxim O? Because, a couple of months ago, i had my first tooth extraction and was prescribed the same and my periods was delayed(regular from next month) by 10 days. Since i am facing the same problem this time too, want to know if taxim O is the reason

Hi
I can understand your concern for the safety of Taxim O.
The use of antibiotic Taxim-O (Cefixime) is unlikely to be reason for your delayed period.
In addition to pregnancy, the delayed periods can be caused by

a. Hormonal imbalances like thyroid, prolactin, or sex hormones
b. Emotional or physical stress
c. Any infection like tooth infection
d. Increased physical activities
e. Inadequate diet

Hope this answers your query.
