Period 
Delay 

Let’s be honest with ourselves ladies, we’ve all had those days when we’ve planned a good time only for mother nature to storm in with her cramps and maxi pads. Sure, periods are useful and all, but we all know that sometimes we could really do without the bleeding and the pain and the cravings and the mood swings that turn anything you see on TV into the greatest tragedy of our times.

This is where period delay medication can step in and keep mother nature from getting in the way, kind of like a bouncer keeping killjoys from getting into the club and spoiling your fun.

How do period delay treatments work?

If you take the combined contraceptive pill, like Microgynon or Yasmin, you might be able to take 2 strips of pills back to back and delay your period until you’ve finished the second strip.

However, if you don’t take the contraceptive pill, Norethisterone could be just what you need to delay your period until after your holiday or that big event you’ve had planned.

If you want to delay your period for any reason, a quick consultation with our prescribers will let them know if they can recommend some medication to give mother nature a temporary restraining order.

Fill out the questionnaire our prescribers have set out and if they decide to write you a prescription then our pharmacy team will get it sent to your door quickly and in discreet packaging.
