Description
Norethisterone Period Delay Tablets are a reliable option for women who wish to delay their menstrual cycle temporarily. Whether you're planning a holiday, wedding, or another important event, Norethisterone offers you the flexibility to manage your period on your terms. By taking these tablets three days before your period is due, you can effectively postpone your period for up to 17 days. This medication is easy to use, and its short-term usage is generally well-tolerated, providing you with the peace of mind to enjoy your plans without interruption.
Before your menstrual period, the levels of the female sex hormone progesterone drops. Norethisterone works by sustaining the womb lining and delays a period until you stop taking the tablets. Norethisterone is also present in some contraceptive pills and hormone replacement therapies for menopause. The drug is not a contraceptive.
Warnings
- Norethisterone may be unsuitable for you if you are currently taking other medications. Be sure to consult your GP for medical interactions.
- Do not take Norethisterone during pregnancy.
- If a dose is late or missed, you may find that you experience some light bleeding or spotting. Use some panty liners or similar items if needed.
Directions
- Take Norethisterone three times daily, starting three days before your period is due until you wish your period to resume.
- Your period should come within two to three days after stopping Norethisterone. Don't use Norethisterone to stop your period once it starts.
- If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember, unless your next tablet is nearly due, in which case skip the missed dose and take the following amount at the regular time.
