For many women, the timing of their period can be an unexpected inconvenience, especially when it coincides with a long-awaited holiday, special event, or active getaway. Fortunately, pharmacies like ours can offer a simple solution: period delay tablets.
What Are Period Delay Tablets?
Period delay tablets, such as those containing norethisterone, are a form of synthetic progesterone. When taken correctly, they can delay menstruation for up to 17 days. They work by maintaining hormone levels to prevent the natural drop that triggers a period.
How Do They Work?
Typically, the tablets are taken three days before your period is due and continued for as long as you wish to delay your period (up to the prescribed limit). Once you stop taking them, your period usually starts within 2–3 days.
Perfect for Holidays and Big Events
Whether it’s a beach holiday, a honeymoon, or a sporting trip, customers often seek ways to avoid the discomfort and inconvenience of a period during travel. Period delay tablets offer a medically safe, temporary option when prescribed correctly.
How to Access Them
At our pharmacy, we offer a discreet and convenient service for period delay tablets. Customers can speak to our pharmacist in confidence, in person to check suitability and receive the appropriate treatment. No GP appointment needed!
A Few Things to Keep in Mind:
- These tablets are not contraceptives.
- They are not suitable for everyone, especially those with certain medical conditions or taking specific medications.
- It’s best to plan ahead—don’t wait until the last minute before your holiday.
