Around about this time of year we get a lot of enquiries from female patients wondering if they can delay their period for the holiday season coming up. There are always going to be times when it is inconvenient to have your period (like weddings and holidays) and fortunately there is a pill that you can take to delay your period. The medication that is prescribed for menstrual postponement is called Norethisterone.  Norethisterone is a man-made progesterone (a naturally occurring hormone) and comes as a generic product or branded as Primolut or Utovlan.

You should start taking Norethisterone three days before your period is due to start and take it as long as you want to delay your period. The medication needs to be taken 3 times a day. Your period will start a day or so after you stop taking the medication and your cycle will return to normal the following month.

If you would like to obtain a supply of Norethisterone, please complete a registration form online.
