Do not worry about periods on special occasions

The menstrual bleed is a natural process which occurs every month when a woman's body sheds the womb lining. However, there are certain special occasions during which you would not like to have the menstrual bleed as it may lower your energy and cause discomfort. Norethisterone is an effective period delay medication that is available on prescription. It gives you the liberty to push back the start of your period for a few weeks. It contains the synthetic version of female sex hormone called progestogen. It functions by supplying your body with synthetic hormones so that it can mimic the natural progestogen in your body.

Before the onset of the period, the level of progestogen in body drops to a significant level because of which your womb lining sheds and this marks the beginning of menstrual bleed. Norethisterone tablets supplies your body with artificial hormones, due to which the level of progestogen remains constant and the womb lining is not shed. You are required to take this medication three days before the expected date of your period. You need to take three tablets a day until you want to have your period again. During this period, the normal activities of the menstrual cycle are prevented, such as thickening of the womb lining and ovulation. When your period starts again then you may possibly experience a heavier menstrual bleed.

It is important to note that you should not delay your period for more than two weeks as it can cause many harmful side effects. It is normally prescribed only to women who are above 18 years of age. However, if you are already taking some contraceptive pills then you should avoid purchasing this medication.
