General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,

To postpone your period, one tablet of Norethisterone-5mg should be taken three times a day 2 to 3 days before your expected period. It may be continued until you wish your period to resume. A normal period should occur 2-3 days after you stop taking the tablets. It should always be taken 2-3 days before the expected period because at the time before a period, the level of progestogen hormone falls and this causes the lining of the uterus to be shed as menstrual period. By taking Norethisterone tablets the levels of progestogens are kept artificially high, and so the period does not start.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Mohammed Taher Ali, General & Family Physician
