This service may be suitable for women who:
- Want to delay their period for a short-term event
- Have regular menstrual cycles

Norethisterone
Norethisterone 5mg is a prescription-only medicine used to temporarily delay the onset of a period. It is a type of hormone treatment that works by helping to maintain the lining of the womb, which can postpone menstruation when taken as directed.
During your consultation, a healthcare professional will assess whether norethisterone is suitable for you based on your medical history, current medicines and individual circumstances.
If treatment is appropriate, you will be advised on when to start taking norethisterone, how to take it correctly and what to expect during and after treatment.
