What is period delay?
Period delay is a way to temporarily postpone your period. Some people choose to delay their period for travel, special occasions, religious reasons, or simply to avoid disruption at certain times.
Period delay treatment is not intended for regular use. Norethisterone does not work as contraception, so you’ll still need separate protection if required.
How do period delay tablets work?
Period delay tablets contain norethisterone, a synthetic form of the hormone progesterone.
By keeping progesterone levels higher than usual, norethisterone helps prevent the womb lining from shedding. This delays your period until you stop taking the tablets.
Possible side effects of period delay tablets
Like all medicines, norethisterone can cause side effects. Not everyone will experience these.
Possible side effects include breast tenderness, nausea, headaches, bloating, tiredness, reduced sex drive, and changes in mood.
Period delay tablets are not suitable for everyone. They should not be used if you’ve had blood clots or certain medical conditions. This will be checked during your consultation.
*Subject to pharmacist approval.
To start treatment, you’ll complete a short online consultation so our pharmacists can understand your needs. A pharmacist will review your answers and confirm if treatment is suitable.
If approved, you can request ongoing supplies through follow-up online check-ins. We review each request to make sure the medicine remains safe and appropriate for you.
