About Norethisterone
Norethisterone is a prescription-only medicine used to delay a menstrual period for a short time. It is a synthetic form of progesterone that helps maintain the lining of the womb until the medicine is stopped. A period usually starts 2–4 days after the final tablet, although this can vary. Norethisterone is suitable for short-term period delay and is not a contraceptive.
It maintains hormone levels so the womb lining is not shed until treatment stops.
Usually three days before your expected period.
Your prescriber will advise the appropriate duration, commonly up to 17 days.
Most people have a period within 2–4 days of stopping treatment.
