Period Delay Management Options

At your consultation, our expert Pharmacists and Technicians will discuss how Period Delay treatment works, how to take it, and any other important information to support you.

Our Private Period Delay Service allows you to delay your menstrual cycle safely and effectively using Norethisterone, a licensed medicine available following a consultation with one of our pharmacists or technicians.

How It’s Taken

If we think you’ll benefit from treatment, you’ll usually take the tablets three times a day, starting 3 days before your period is due, and continue this for the duration agreed with your Healthcare Professional.
Your period will typically begin 2–3 days after stopping the tablets.
Always follow the guidance of your Healthcare Professional. This is not medical advice.

Medication is only ever provided, if indicated, after a consultation with a Healthcare Professional.
Our Period Delay service is only for non-regular use.
