What is period delay treatment?
Period delay treatment helps temporarily delay your menstrual period for planned events such as holidays, weddings, exams, or other important occasions. It does not treat or regulate menstrual cycles and is intended for occasional use only.
Who is this service for?
This service may be suitable for women who:
Want to delay their period for a short-term event
Have regular menstrual cycles
Are not pregnant or trying to become pregnant
Do not have medical conditions that make hormone treatment unsuitable
What can be prescribed?
If clinically appropriate, you may be prescribed:
Norethisterone 5 mg tablets
Norethisterone is a prescription medicine that works by mimicking the hormone progesterone, helping to delay the start of your period when taken correctly.
