Safe & Effective Period Delay Tablets at Murrays Chemist
There may be times when you want to delay your period for a holiday, wedding, sporting event, or an important occasion. At Murrays Chemist in Harrow, we offer private consultations where you can receive a prescription for period delay tablets if suitable.
How Do Period Delay Tablets Work?
The most common period delay tablet is Norethisterone (branded as Utovlan), a prescription-only medication that mimics the natural hormone progesterone to delay your period.
How to Take Norethisterone:
- Take one tablet three times a day.
- Start taking the tablets three days before your period is due.
- Continue taking them for up to 14 days (maximum of 17 days total).
- Your period will resume 2-3 days after stopping the medication.
Who Can Take Period Delay Tablets?
Period delay tablets are suitable for most women, but not recommended for individuals with:
- A history of blood clots or deep vein thrombosis (DVT)
- Liver disease
- Heart conditions
- Uncontrolled high blood pressure
- Certain hormone-sensitive conditions
If you are unsure whether period delay tablets are right for you, our pharmacist will assess your medical history during the consultation.
Are There Side Effects?
Like all medications, Norethisterone may cause side effects, including:
- Mild bloating or breast tenderness
- Headaches or nausea
- Changes in mood or appetite
Most side effects are mild and disappear after stopping the tablets. If you experience severe side effects, consult a doctor immediately.
