Brief Answer:
Possible under doctor's guidance
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for your query. I can understand your concerns.
Yes she can take norethisterone for a week but better would be under a doctor's guidance. It is considered to be safe in an 11 year old for such a small time.
Make sure she does not miss any tablets.
Feel free to consult me directly

I wrote last week re my soon to be 11 yr old taking norethisterone to delay her period whilst ona school residential trip. I just need it to be delayed for 5 days.
My gp practice are refusing to prescribe. Can u help us as she is distraughtat the thought of a period with all her friends on this trip. Thank you
I would only use 5 days worth as would be fine for have period on her return
Is it dangerous to give to a girl of almost 11? Thanking you

Dear XXXXXXX XXXXXXX
It will be safe to prescribe for 5 days in an 11 year girl.
It is unfortunate that your GP is not prescribing.
It what way can i help ?
I do not think an online prescription will work.
You have to request your GP only.
