Brief Answer:
tablet norethisterone thrice a day.

Detailed Answer:
Dear member,
Thanks for writing.
The tablet norethisterone 5mg (available as primolut -n)thrice a day taken atleast 3-4 days before a expected period and continued till the end of your vacation will help postpone your cycles.
If you are not on birth control and if you become pregnant in this cycle then the medication will not cause a period in the end . What I mean to convey is that the tablet norethisterone is not a birthcontrol pill and if you want protection you may have to consider other methods.
Please write back if you have any questions
Thanks
