Take Control of Your Cycle

Plan ahead and stay in control with safe & effective Period Delay treatment.

What is the Morning After Pill?

Period delay tablets, such as Norethisterone, contain a synthetic version of the hormone progesterone, which naturally regulates your menstrual cycle. By taking these tablets before your period starts, you can delay your period for up to 17 days by maintaining higher levels of progesterone in your body.

This treatment is ideal for individuals who want to delay their period for a holiday, wedding, sports event, or any occasion where a period may be inconvenient.

Who Can Use Period Delay Tablets?

Most individuals who are not taking hormonal contraception and have regular periods can use period delay tablets safely. They may be suitable for you if you:

  • Want to postpone your period for a special event, holiday, or travel.
  • Are not currently using birth control pills, as combined contraceptive pills offer alternative cycle control options.
  • Have no history of blood clots or hormone-related health conditions.

If you’re unsure whether period delay tablets are suitable for you, our pharmacists can provide expert advice based on your medical history and needs.

How Do Period Delay Tablets Work?

Menstrual cycles are regulated by progesterone and oestrogen levels. Naturally, progesterone levels drop before your period, triggering bleeding. Period delay tablets (Norethisterone) work by maintaining high progesterone levels, preventing your period from starting until you stop taking the medication.

  • Start taking the tablets 3 days before your expected period
  • Continue taking the tablets for as long as needed (up-to 17 days)
  • Your period will usually start 2–3 days after stopping the tablets.
