Norethisterone
Price range: £13.99 through £24.99
Some women find themselves in situations where they would like to delay their period, so it comes at a convenient time. For instance, during their wedding, some women may prefer to delay their period. Norethisterone is a period delay tablet. It should be taken three days before your period for it to be effective. It is a synthetic version of progesterone, a natural female hormone that sustains the womb lining. It can cause period delays for up to 16 days.
Before your menstrual period, the levels of the female sex hormone progesterone drops. Norethisterone works by sustaining the womb lining and delays a period until you stop taking the tablets. Norethisterone is also present in some contraceptive pills and hormone replacement therapies for menopause. The drug is not a contraceptive.
