Can Symbicort lengthen menstrual cycle?

Question

I have been using Symbicort Inhaler for a couple of weeks and my cycle has lengthened from my average of 25 days to 31 days and I still have not gotten my period. I have not had s*x this last cycle so I cannot be pregnant. Does anyone know if Inhalers can affect your cycle?

Answer 1

Hi. I have no idea how long ago this thread started, but Symbicort has definitely lengthned my menstrual cycle. I was wondering about this, as well, and my research has yielded the same answer: oral corticosteroids (such as Symbicort) do cause delayed or missed periods.
