Hi,
Sevista (active ingredient:
Ormeloxifene) is a medication used in the treatment of
irregular periods and heavy menstrual bleeding. It works by inhibiting the effects of
estrogen on the lining of the uterus, which can help regulate menstrual cycles and reduce bleeding.
One of the common side effects of Sevista is a change in menstrual bleeding pattern, which may include delayed periods or shorter periods. However, if you have missed a period and the
pregnancy test is negative, it is essential to rule out other causes of delayed periods.
There are many potential causes of delayed periods, including stress, changes in weight,
polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS),
thyroid disorders, and other medical conditions. It is also possible that the delay is unrelated to Sevista.
I would recommend that you consult your gynecologist to determine the underlying cause of your delayed period. They may suggest further testing or adjusting your medication dosage or treatment plan to address the issue. It is also important to keep in mind that Sevista is not a
contraceptive, and you should use other forms of birth control if you are sexually active.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Priyanka, General & Family Physician
