Suggest The Ideal Dosage For Norethindrone
I was prescribed norethindorn to delay my period for next month. I will be on vacay may 13-20 and scheduled to have a period during that time. I was prescribed 2.5 mg once a day for 30 days. I have not had my period this month, yet. When should I start taking this pill?

Hello,
The dosage of daily 2.5 mg is absolutely fine. The intake should be started irrespective of menses date and to be continued till you want to post pone the menses.
Once the last dose is taken, within 5-7 days, you will get withdrawal bleed.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
