Hello,
If Utovlan is taken at least a minimum of 5 days before the onset of the period, it is possible to delay the period. But taking on the day of the period it may not be possible to delay it.
The Utovlan is a progesterone hormone-containing pill and if taken a few days prior will maintain the lining of the womb and will prevent its shedding.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
