What do I do if I take mefenamic acid but my period doesn't come?

Posted , 1 user is following.

My doctor prescribed me mefenamic acid for my really heavy and painful periods. She told me to take them 3 days before my period starts and for the first 3 days during. This is my first time taking it and I started roughly 3 days before my period is supposed to start but it hasn't yet... I've read that they can become addictive but should I carry on taking them until my period starts or just for 6 days in total?

Thanks!!
