Who is it for?
Period delay treatment is suitable for women who wish to temporarily postpone their period for a short time, such as for holidays, special occasions, or important events.
How it works:
The medication contains norethisterone, a synthetic hormone that helps maintain the lining of the womb and delays the start of your period while you continue taking it.
Dosage:
Treatment is usually started 3 days before your expected period. One tablet is taken three times daily for up to 7 days. Your period will normally begin 2–3 days after stopping the medication.
Side effects:
Possible side effects may include mild bloating, breast tenderness, nausea, headache, or mood changes. These are usually temporary.
