Norethisterone is a prescription treatment that can be taken to safely delay your period for two weeks. It contains a synthetic version of the hormone progestogen, similar to hormonal contraceptives and works in a similar way to manipulate the body's natural cycle.
One of the main benefits of this period delay treatment is that it provides you with the freedom to choose when to have your period, so that it doesn't interrupt holidays or occasions where the last thing you want is to worry about your period. This can include scenarios where toilet facilities are limited or poor, as well as special occasions and sporting events. By delaying your period, you will avoid typical symptoms such as cramping, heavy bleeding and mood swings to continue your life with ease.
The hormones in the period delay treatments are very similar to those found in the pill and the mini pill, which means that it can provide the same benefits for women with heavy or painful periods and endometriosis. Doctors may sometimes recommend period delay treatments like Norethisterone to treat discomfort in women during the advanced stages of breast cancer.
You can buy Norethisterone online from euroClinix after completing an online consultation.
Norethisterone contains the active ingredient of the same name, which is a synthetic version of the natural female sex hormone progesterone.
Your period happens at the point in your cycle right after the womb lining is shed. Taking this medication causes your body to hold on to the womb lining for a little bit longer, encouraging it to grow. It does this by mimicking and replacing the natural progestogen in your body. This level usually drops right before your period and is the reason why the womb lining stops growing.
When you stop taking Norethisterone, the lining will break down again and you will experience your period as usual. This may mean that the usual day that you start has now changed.
Norethisterone tablets are available to buy in a dosage of 5mg at euroClinix. They can be taken at different periods of time, depending on the condition you are treating.

It is also not recommended if you have or have had cervical, genital, breast or ovarian cancer; liver problems; unexplained vaginal bleeding; jaundice; a rash; herpes during pregnancy; severe arterial disease or thrombosis.
Women taking any form of hormonal contraception are not advised to take this medication for period delay. Despite similar ingredients, Norethisterone is not an effective contraceptive option. If you are already taking a hormonal contraceptive, the hormones present in the contraceptive pill, for example, could be an effective means of delaying your period and an additional hormonal treatment may not required. For more information on using your combined pill as period delay, please refer back to our Period Delay page and contact your doctor.

If you do experience side effects, these tend to be temporary and mild in temperament.
