Hi
You cannot be given drugs until pregnancy is ruled out.You need to wait and take a pregnancy test at 10 days after missed period.
Blood beta Hcg levels can also be taken which is more sensitive than a urine test.Do not worry.In case of positive result and pregnancy is not desired,you can visit your doctor for medical termination.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
