Going on holiday, attending a music festival, have important exams? Will it coincide with that time of the month?
For some women, the arrival of a period can be very inconvenient, especially if bleeds tend to be heavy and painful, as they can be for many women.
For others, it can be that a religious event such as undertaking the pilgrimage of Hajj or Umrah would mean that the period cannot be allowed to occur.
Whatever your reasons, we can help by supplying enough norethisterone tablets to delay your period by up to 16 days.
Attend the pharmacy at your chosen time and collect your order.
If you are 16 years old or over, not pregnant or breast-feeding and not taking any form of contraception, then speak to our pharmacy team to book a consultation with our trained pharmacist.
If deemed suitable, you will be supplied Norethisterone 5mg Tablets.
You will be advised to take ONE tablet THREE times a day starting three days before expected onset of the period. The medication should be taken for as long as required, up to a maximum of 14 days, to delay the period until you stop taking them.
Your period should start within three days of stopping the medication.
Some of the more common side effects may be breakthrough bleeding, spotting, irregular bleeding, breast-tenderness, other side effects may occur but the pharmacist will offer more guidance on this during the consultation.
If you should experience any side effects, you should contact Rushton Pharmacy or your GP as soon as possible.
