Postpone your period by up to four weeks with pharmacist-reviewed norethisterone — so a holiday, wedding or occasion goes exactly the way you planned.
Takes about 3 minutes · Our pharmacist reviews every order before anything is sent
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.
If you take the combined contraceptive pill, you can often run two packs back-to-back to delay your period without needing norethisterone — mention this in the consultation and the pharmacist will advise. Norethisterone is the option when you’re not on a suitable hormonal method for this purpose.
