What Is Norethisterone Dosage For Delaying Periods?
My period is due in 4 days and i have a weekend get away planned with my husband. My doc prescribed norethisterone 0.35 grams 1 per day but i noticed the blogs online says the 5g norithisterone is usually used 3times daily. So is my dosage too low tp delay my period by 4days time?

Hello,
Norethisterone pill should be taken 5 mg twice/ thrice daily 3 days prior to due date and continue as long as you want to delay your period (max 2 weeks). You will get a withdrawal bleeding within 5 to 7 days of stopping pills.
Kindly, consult with your doctor regarding this and procure complete prescription with dose.
