Fulham Palace Pharmacy offers a clear period delay service so you can avoid inconvenient timing. Our pharmacists guide you through eligibility, medication choice and dosing.
You begin with a short health assessment to check for any contraindications such as blood clots or liver issues. If you qualify, we prescribe a licensed period-delay tablet called norethisterone 5 mg, the only progestogen licensed for this use in the UK sps.nhs.uk.
You start taking tablets three days before your expected bleed. You take one tablet three times a day for up to 17 days. During this time your progesterone levels stay high and the womb lining does not shed well.co.uk.
- Start dosing three days before your period is due
- Continue dosing three times daily for up to 17 days
- Your period resumes two to three days after you stop tablets
Your pharmacist explains possible side effects such as breast tenderness or mild nausea and advises on how to manage them. You leave with clear written instructions and a record to show your GP if needed.
Our service runs year-round. We recommend booking at least one week before you need to delay your bleed to allow time for assessment and supply. Most patients complete everything in a single visit.
Trust Fulham Palace Pharmacy for professional care. We use NHS-approved medication and follow national guidelines to keep you safe and comfortable
