Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am taking Sibelium 10 mg from last some weeks for my migraine and last month I missed my periods. Kindly clarify the reason. Is it delaying due to this medicine?
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
On the aspect of missing your period can be the migraine prescription medication, Sibelium (Flunarizine) because it has some effect of blocking the dopamine receptor in the brain. Besides, it is a calcium channel blocking effect. So the possibility is that by blocking the dopamine receptor that will cause a central increase of prolactin. Prolactin will lead to galactorrhea and in turn, alter the menstrual cycle. So it is a possibility that is if you have done a pregnancy test and it is negative. So that dopaminergic antagonistic may cause amenorrhea.
