Delay or postpone your period to stop it from clashing with a special event or occasion
If you have a special occasion coming up like a holiday, you might want to postpone your period. We offer a safe and effective service. It works by taking a period delay tablet 3 days before your expected period, to delay your period for up to 17 days. The tablet is available for collection in pharmacy only.
Who is the period delay service suitable for ?
Our period delay service is suitable for adult women aged between 16 and 50 years who are not already taking the contraceptive pill. If you're interested in our period delay service, please speak to our pharmacy team. They'll arrange an appointment with a pharmacist. At the appointment, you'll complete a short consultation to ensure the period delay tablet is suitable for you. Once you've completed the consultation, the pharmacy will dispense the medication.
How does the period delay tablet work?
Period delay tablets work by mimicking natural progesterone levels to keep them raised. This stops the womb lining from shedding and delays your period. If you want to delay your period, you should start taking the medication 3 days before your period is due. You need to take the tablet 3 times a day for up to 17 days. Your period will start 2 or 3 days after you stop taking the tablet.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does period delay medication work?
Utovlan is a medication that delays the start of your period. The active ingredient in Utovlan is a hormone called norethisterone, which works by keeping your progesterone levels high enough to prevent ovulation and maintain the uterus lining (similar to what happens during pregnancy).

Utovlan does not prevent pregnancy, so you still need to use protection even if you’re using period delay medication. Our nurses and pharmacists will be able to offer advice during your consultation if you’d like to know more about your contraception options whilst taking Utovlan.

Depending on availability from suppliers you may be offered Utovlan, which is a branded medication, or Norethisterone which is generic.

How to take your period delay medication?
Take one 5mg tablet, three times a day, starting three days before your expected period

What are the side effects of period delay medication?
Side effects can include:

  • irregular vaginal bleeding
  • changes to your menstrual cycle
  • abdominal discomfort
  • mood changes
  • nausea
Please see the patient information leaflet for a full list of side effects.

Drug interactions
Norethisterone tablets should not be taken at the same time as some medications, for example some epilepsy medication, antiviral medication, and the ulipristal “EllaOne” morning after pill.

Our nurse or pharmacist will be able to assess this for you.

How can I get Period Delay medication?
Any of our nurses or pharmacists can supply period delay medication after a short consultation, and provide you with the medication after the consultation, if it is suitable. You can book an appointment in one of our Health Clinics for a face to face consultation with a nurse, who can supply period delay medication.

Our nurses can also provide you with any travel advice or vaccinations you may need. If you don’t need any travel advice, you can also walk in to our Pharmacy without having to book an appointment first. The pharmacist will have a short consultation with you as soon as they are available, and you can get the medication after the consultation if it’s suitable for you.

You can also buy period delay medication online with Online Doctor. You just need to fill in a short online questionnaire, and our doctors can prescribe this medication if they think it is safe and appropriate to do so. You can have these tablets delivered to an address of your choice, or you can pick them up from our pharmacy.
