FAQs - Period Delay Tablets
Q: How does period delay treatment work?
We use a medication called Norethisterone to delay your period. You start taking it 3 days before your period is due, three times a day. Your period will return 2–3 days after stopping the tablets.
Q: Is this the contraceptive pill?
No. Norethisterone is not a contraceptive. You should continue using protection to avoid pregnancy while taking it.
Q: Who can use this treatment?
Women aged 16 to 50 who are not on hormonal contraception and do not have a history of blood clots or liver conditions. A short consultation is required to confirm it’s safe for you.
Q: Can I use it if I’m on the pill?
Unfortunately, this treatment isn’t suitable for those already on hormonal contraceptives like the pill, patch, or ring.
