Wheatley Pharmacy

Delaying your period can be a practical solution, but it’s natural to have questions. Here, we answer some of the most common concerns about period delay.





Who Can Use Period Delay Medication?


  • Women aged 18 and older.

  • Those who are not currently pregnant or breastfeeding.

  • Individuals without a history of blood clots or certain health conditions (e.g., liver disease).


How Effective Is Period Delay Medication?


When taken as directed, norethisterone is highly effective in delaying your period. However, it’s important to note that it is not a contraceptive and will not prevent pregnancy.


Are There Any Side Effects?


Some people may experience mild side effects, such as:

  • Bloating

  • Breast tenderness

  • Headaches


These usually resolve once you stop taking the medication.


Can I Delay My Period Frequently?


Period delay is generally intended for occasional use. Regular disruption of your cycle may not be advisable, so discuss your needs with a healthcare professional if you require it often.
