What Our Customers Are Saying
FAQ’s
These are the most common questions that we get asked.
How does period delay medication work?
Period delay medication, such as Norethisterone, works by keeping your progesterone levels high, which prevents the shedding of the uterine lining and delays your period. The medication is typically taken three days before your period is due.
Who can use period delay medication?
Most women can use period delay medication safely. However, it may not be suitable for those with certain health conditions, such as a history of blood clots. Our pharmacists will assess your medical history during the consultation to ensure it’s safe for you.
How long can I delay my period for?
You can delay your period for up to 17 days with Norethisterone. Your pharmacist will provide detailed advice on how long you can safely use the medication based on your needs.
Are there any side effects of using period delay medication?
Side effects are rare but can include bloating, breast tenderness, or mood changes. Our pharmacists will discuss any potential side effects and provide guidance on what to expect.
HOW MUCH DOES THIS COST?
Period delay medication starts from £27 for one week’s supply (Norethisterone 5mg) and £45 for two weeks. Our full price list can be accessed here.
