What Are Period Delay Tablets?
Period delay tablets are prescription medications that temporarily postpone your menstrual bleed. They contain a synthetic form of progesterone, which keeps your hormone levels balanced and prevents your period from starting until you stop the course.
Women often choose delayed period medication for:
- Holidays or honeymoons
- Religious or cultural occasions
- Sporting events or competitions
- Travel or work commitments
- Special ceremonies and celebrations
Once you stop taking the tablets, your period usually starts again within 2–3 days.
How Does Period Delay Medication Work?
These tablets work by supplying a synthetic form of progesterone. By maintaining the lining of the womb, medicines such as Norethisterone 5 mg prevent the hormonal drop that normally triggers menstrual bleeding, helping to delay or stop a period while the treatment continues.
Our trained pharmacists will guide you on:
- The correct timing to start your tablets.
- How long to continue your course.
- Any safety considerations with your current health or medicines.
This ensures you can delay your period with confidence and minimal disruption to your routine.
