Period Delay Tablets – Control Your Cycle With Confidence
Norethisterone is a prescription-only hormonal treatment that allows you to delay your period for up to 17 days. It contains 5mg of norethisterone, a synthetic form of progesterone, which helps maintain the uterine lining and prevent bleeding until you’re ready.
Ideal for holidays, events, or personal preference, Norethisterone offers a reliable, short-term solution for managing your menstrual cycle.
How Norethisterone Works
Norethisterone is a synthetic version of the hormone progesterone. When taken consistently, it prevents the drop in hormone levels that would normally trigger a period. Once you stop taking the tablets, your period typically starts within 2–3 days.
This is a temporary solution and is not a form of contraception.
- Start taking 1 tablet (5mg) three times daily, beginning 3 days before your period is due
- Continue for up to 17 days
- Your period should begin 2–3 days after stopping the tablets
- Do not take Norethisterone long-term or for frequent cycle manipulation
Who Can Use Norethisterone?
Norethisterone is suitable for most women aged 18–50 who are not using hormonal contraception and wish to delay their period for personal reasons.
- Are pregnant or think you might be
- Have a history of blood clots, stroke, or heart disease
- Have liver problems or hormone-sensitive cancers
- Are taking hormonal contraceptives or certain epilepsy/tuberculosis medications
