Final treatment decisions are made by the prescribing doctor.
Life can be unexpected. Periods, on the other hand, can be frustratingly consistent. Whether it’s a holiday, a wedding, or anything in between, having your period at the wrong time can turn a happy occasion into a challenge.
Prescription period delay treatments let you take control of your cycle, postponing your period so it works around your plans, not the other way around.
When taken as prescribed, the period delay tablet Norethisterone is a safe and effective way to control your menstrual cycle.
With the right planning, you can delay your period for up to 4 weeks so you can ensure it doesn’t get in the way of life’s important moments.
Here’s how you can give yourself a break with Norethisterone:
Time it right
Start taking your tablets 3 days before your period is due.
Take your tablets
Take one tablet 3 times each day — in the morning, midday, and evening. You can take it with or without food
Choose when to stop
You can delay your period for up to 4 weeks. Your period should start again 3-4 days after you stop taking it.
Whatever the reason, you deserve comfort and you deserve control. Here are some situations where you might find it helpful to delay your period.

Delaying your period is generally safe if treatment is prescribed by a licensed doctor. Any other method to delay your period may be unsafe and ineffective.
Generally, your cycle will shift based on when you stop taking the treatment. Your period will usually arrive a few days after stopping, and your next period will typically be about 28 days after that. However, everyone's body is different, and your cycle may return to its original pattern over time.
There are no proven or medically supported ways to reliably delay your period naturally. Any non-prescribed method may be unsafe and ineffective, so it's best to follow your doctor’s advice.
After taking your last tablet, your period typically starts within 2–3 days. However, how long it takes may vary slightly from person to person.
No, Norethisterone must be started three days before your period is due. It cannot stop bleeding once your period has already started.
That’s why preparation is so important when it comes to period delay treatment. Make sure you begin treatment at the right time, and take the prescribed dose.
You can take the tablets for a maximum of 30 days in a single course, which allows you to delay your period for up to 4 weeks. Taking the tablets for longer is not recommended and increases the risk of side effects.
Period delay treatment can prevent or postpone your next period, which may help you avoid period-related pain and cramps during an important event or occasion. However, treatment is not primarily a treatment for period pain itself. If you regularly experience severe or disruptive pain, speak to your doctor about possible causes and treatment options.
Delaying your period may mean you do not experience some of the symptoms you typically associate with the days around your period. However, period delay treatment is not specifically designed to treat PMS. If you regularly experience significant PMS symptoms, a healthcare professional can discuss other treatment options with you.
Depending on the type of headaches or migraines you get, you may not be able to take period delay treatments.
Regular headaches are typically safe with treatment, but if you experience migraines with aura, Norethisterone is not typically safe to use and we will not prescribe it. Symptoms of migraine with aura include blind spots, seeing zig-zag patterns, and temporary vision loss.
