Period delay
Whether you’re going on holiday or celebrating a special event, sometimes it just isn’t convenient to have a period. Period delay pills – Norethisterone can stop you from getting your period when you don’t want it.
Norethisterone is a synthetic version of the female hormone progesterone. It works by mimicking your natural progesterone levels, keeping them raised which stops your womb lining from shedding and delays your period.
They are suitable for occasional use but should not be taken regularly and it does not work as a contraceptive when taken for period delay.
This treatment needs to be started 3 days before your expected period and can be used to delay your period for up to 17 days.
