What is Norethisterone?

Norethisterone is a prescription-only medicine that can temporarily delay your period. It works by maintaining hormone levels that prevent the lining of the womb from shedding. Once you stop taking the tablets, your period will usually begin within a few days. To be effective, norethisterone should normally be started three days before your expected period. It can usually be taken for up to 17 days, depending on your individual circumstances and the advice provided during your consultation.


Who Can Use This Service?

Our pharmacist will ask about your medical history, current medications, and overall health to determine whether treatment is appropriate.

Unfortunately, norethisterone may not be suitable for everyone. It may not be recommended for people with certain medical conditions, including a history of blood clots, liver disease, certain cancers, unexplained vaginal bleeding, or during pregnancy. Your pharmacist will discuss any concerns during your consultation.
