Period Delay

Period Delay Online Service


At The Health Dispensary, we understand that menstruation can sometimes coincide with important events, holidays, or special occasions. Our Period Delay Service offers a safe and effective solution to postpone your period, providing you with control and convenience when you need it most.

What Is Period Delay Medication?

Period delay medication, commonly known as Norethisterone, is a prescription medicine used to delay menstruation. It works by maintaining elevated levels of progesterone, preventing the shedding of the uterine lining, and thereby postponing your period.

How Does It Work?

  • Dosage: Norethisterone is typically taken three times a day, starting three days before your expected period.
  • Duration: You can continue the medication for up to 14 days.
  • Resumption of Period: Your period should commence 2-3 days after stopping the medication.

Who Can Use Period Delay Medication?

This service is suitable for most women over 16 years of age who:

  • Do not have a history of blood clots.
  • Are not currently pregnant or breastfeeding.
  • Do not have liver disease.

A consultation with our pharmacist is essential to ensure that period delay medication is safe and appropriate for you.
