How Cortal tablets affects your menstruation
Cortal Tablet contains aspirin and caffeine as active ingredients, such medication with blood-thinning properties make it less ideal for period pain. If you take Cortal for menstruation, you may notice that your periods are heavier or longer than usual. If you have more bleeding than normal, talk to your doctor. Other painkillers known as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), which include ibuprofen and naproxen, have been shown to have the opposite effect.
A study of over 400 healthy, premenopausal women found that women who consumed a lot of caffeine (over 300 mg daily) were twice as likely to have a short menstrual cycle (less than 25 days) compared to women who didn’t. “The mechanism by which caffeine-containing medications like Cortal may alter the duration of the menstrual cycle is not clear, but such an effect could occur via the effect of caffeine on sex hormones or the hormone receptors,” the researchers write.
Cortal pills can cause constriction of vessels, combined with the diuretic effect of caffeine, which could have other less than welcome side effects, like more painful cramps.
Medications containing caffeine are linked to an elevated frequency of premenstrual syndrome (PMS). Women who consume large amounts of caffeine experience more symptoms than women who don’t consume caffeine. PMS discomfort may include cramping, headaches, breast tenderness, bloating, mood swings, backaches, fatigue, and irritability. All of these symptoms are likely to become more pronounced with Cortal Tablet intake. The increase in caffeine as a result of Cortal Tablet intake can also lead to tension, trouble sleeping, and amplified exhaustion.
Women should avoid Cortal tablets, especially around the time of menstruation because it restricts blood vessels and increases tension and anxiety. Caffeine in the medication heightens cortisol, norepinephrine, and epinephrine, which are stress hormones that are responsible for elevating blood pressure and heart rate. When there’s an increased level of these hormones in the body, the immune system is suppressed because of a reduction of the oxygen supply to the brain. This restricts the blood vessels and causes tension.
