Hi dear user, thanks for your query.
To delay the periods Norethisterone tablets (primolut tablets 5mg once a day) should be started at least 48 hours before expected period. Period usually does not come untill you stop taking the tablets. Once a female stop taking tablets; period usually comes in 2-4 days.
With this information you can plan the schedule of your medicine.
Hope this helps.
