What Are Period Delay Tablets?

Period delay tablets are medications used to temporarily postpone the start of your menstrual period. They are commonly used for occasions such as:

• Holidays and travel
• Weddings or special events
• Sporting events or competitions
• Religious events
• Important work commitments

The most commonly prescribed medication for delaying periods is norethisterone, a synthetic hormone that works by maintaining progesterone levels in the body.

By maintaining hormone levels, norethisterone prevents the drop in hormones that normally triggers menstruation.

How Period Delay Treatment Works

Period delay tablets are usually taken three days before your period is expected to start.

The medication is typically taken three times a day for the duration you wish to delay your period.
