Norethisterone is a prescription-only tablet that briefly keeps your natural hormone levels up, which holds back the lining of your womb and postpones your period. It's a well-established, short-term option for delaying a period around a specific date.
You take it as a short course, and your cycle returns to normal soon after you stop.
Every order is reviewed by a UK-registered pharmacist before anything is sent. No automatic approval.

Good to know
You start 3 days before your period is due, taking one tablet three times a day. Your period normally returns 3–4 days after you stop the tablets.
Norethisterone can postpone your period for up to 4 weeks — long enough for a holiday, wedding, religious occasion, exams or a sporting event.
Norethisterone is a well-established prescription-only medicine, but it isn't suitable for everyone. That's why our pharmacist reviews your confidential answers before deciding whether to supply. If it isn't right for you, the pharmacist explains why and you're refunded.
If you take the combined contraceptive pill, you can often run two packs back-to-back to delay your period without needing norethisterone — just mention this in the consultation and the pharmacist will advise. Norethisterone for period delay is not a contraceptive, so if you use other methods keep using them as normal.
There is no automatic approval — the pharmacist makes the final decision. If it isn't suitable for you, we don't dispatch it, you're refunded in full, and the pharmacist advises you on safe alternatives.
No. Norethisterone for period delay is not a contraceptive. It does not protect against pregnancy or sexually transmitted infections, so keep using your usual contraception.
Answer a few confidential questions and let our pharmacist review whether norethisterone is right for you.
