Whether you’re planning a holiday, a special event, or another important occasion, our Period Delay Service offers a confidential consultation to discuss treatment that may help delay your period temporarily.
At Healthcare Pharmacy, our healthcare team offers confidential consultations and suitability assessments in a private consultation room. We provide a professional service for patients considering period delay treatment.
What Is the Period Delay Service?
Our Period Delay Service gives eligible patients the opportunity to discuss treatment that may temporarily delay a period, following a consultation and suitability assessment. Treatment is not guaranteed and will only be offered where it is considered appropriate for you.
During your appointment, our healthcare team will discuss your medical history, current medicines, and individual circumstances to help determine whether treatment may be suitable.
How Do Period Delay Tablets Work?
Period delay treatment commonly involves norethisterone, a prescription-only medicine that may be used to help delay menstruation temporarily. Where suitable, treatment is usually started a few days before your expected period and taken for the duration advised by your healthcare professional.
Our team will explain how the treatment should be taken, discuss possible side effects, and answer any questions you may have during your consultation.
