Norethisterone 5mg is a period delay tablet used to postpone menstruation for short periods, such as for holidays, weddings, exams, or other time-sensitive events. If you’re looking to buy period delay tablets online in the UK, Norethisterone is commonly requested through an online clinical suitability check, with discreet delivery options.
Norethisterone is a synthetic progestogen (a progesterone-like hormone). It is used for period delay by helping maintain hormone levels that keep the uterine lining stable, so bleeding is postponed until you stop taking it.
This medicine is commonly used to delay a period for a planned date. It is intended for short-term use and is not a long-term solution for menstrual cycle management unless a clinician advises otherwise.
During a normal cycle, progesterone levels drop near the end of the cycle and the uterine lining sheds, causing a period. Norethisterone provides a progesterone-like effect, helping prevent that hormone drop and delaying withdrawal bleeding until treatment is stopped.
Norethisterone may be suitable for adults who want to delay their period and have been assessed as suitable by a clinician. Suitability depends on your medical history, risk factors, and any medicines you take. If you have a history of blood clots, liver problems, or unexplained vaginal bleeding, you should disclose this during assessment.
Tell the clinician about all prescription medicines, over‑the‑counter treatments, and supplements. Also mention if you smoke, have migraine, high blood pressure, diabetes, or a personal/family history of clotting issues, as these can affect suitability.
A commonly used regimen for period delay is one 5mg tablet three times daily, starting 3 days before your period is due.
Active ingredient: Norethisterone 5mg.
Other ingredients may include: lactose monohydrate, maize starch, povidone, magnesium stearate.
