Hi & Welcome.
Tablet Registerone (Norethisterone) can be taken for both the purposes.
If you are not taking any oral contraceptive pills, then
1. TO POSTPONE your period you need to take one tablet of Regestrone (5 mg) 3 times a day, beginning 3 days before your next expected period to start. You should take the tablets at the same time every day, one in the morning, one around midday and one in the evening.
Continue it for the days as long as you wish to delay the period. Then stop the medicine and wait for 7 days. Withdrawal bleeding will occur within this time period.
2. TO PREPONE the periods you need to start taking the medicine at least 10 days before the expected date of your periods. You can take tab Regesterone thrice a day for 3 days. You can expect your period in 3-4 days after stopping the medication.
Since, it is a prescription drug you should consult a Gynecologist.
Hope this solves your problem.
Good luck.
