What Causes Delayed Periods After Taking Z-Pak?
Hello, so my girlfriend and I had unprotected sex a while back and she hasn t got her period yet. But we have taken 3 HPT and they were all negative. Plus she had acute bronchitis and early stages of pneumonia so they gave her a Zpack and an inhailer. Could her period be delayed because of the medication?

Hello,
There is not evidence that taking z pack can cause delayed period. The main reason for the delayed period in a sexually active woman is pregnant.
She can take a home pregnancy test at least 5days of delayed period otherwise they don't show anything.
If the tests come negative anyway than the delayed period may be caused by hormone disbalance.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
