Private Period Delay Service (Norethisterone 5mg)

The Private Period Delay Service is designed for women who wish to temporarily postpone their period for holidays, weddings, religious events, examinations, sporting events, or other special occasions. Following a confidential consultation, a pharmacist prescriber may supply Norethisterone 5mg if it is clinically appropriate.

Norethisterone is a synthetic form of the hormone progesterone. It works by maintaining hormone levels and preventing the lining of the womb from shedding, which delays the start of a menstrual period.
