If you’re travelling abroad for a holiday, business trip, or religious pilgrimage such as Hajj or Umrah, period delay treatment can help you stay comfortable and focused during your journey. Many women choose to delay their period to avoid inconvenience while away from home or participating in sacred rites.
You can speak to our pharmacist about starting norethisterone before your travel dates — and while you’re here, why not arrange your travel vaccinations at the same time? We’ll ensure you’re protected and prepared for your trip, all in one visit.

What Is Period Delay Treatment?
Period delay treatment involves taking norethisterone, a synthetic version of the hormone progesterone. Taken three days before your period is due, it keeps hormone levels stable to delay menstruation until you stop taking it.
To learn more about how norethisterone works and its NHS-approved usage, visit the official NHS period delay guidance page.
Who Can Use This Service?
You may be suitable for period delay treatment if you:
- Are aged 16 or over
- Have regular periods
- Are not currently using hormonal contraception (or are advised to stop temporarily)
- Do not have a history of blood clots, breast cancer, liver disease, or uncontrolled high blood pressure
If you are currently using the combined pill, your period can sometimes be delayed by skipping the break — our pharmacist can advise.
Why Delay Your Period?
Delaying your period can offer peace of mind and freedom during important life events, especially when timing is critical or comfort is key. At Park View Pharmacy, we provide safe and discreet period delay treatment to help you manage your cycle around your lifestyle.
Women commonly choose to delay their period for:
- Holidays and travel – Whether you’re going on a relaxing break or a long-haul trip, period delay helps you enjoy the journey without discomfort. You can even book your travel vaccinations during the same visit for added convenience.
- Weddings and honeymoons – Avoid the stress of period symptoms on your big day or romantic getaway by planning ahead with norethisterone treatment.
- Religious pilgrimages (e.g. Hajj & Umrah) – If you’re preparing for a pilgrimage, period delay can help you participate fully in rituals. We also offer Hajj & Umrah vaccines to help you stay protected during your journey.
- Competitive sports events – Athletes and performers often choose to delay their period for better focus, performance, and confidence during events or competitions.
- Exams or work commitments – If your period timing clashes with a stressful week or major deadline, delaying it can help you stay focused and comfortable.
Whatever your reason, our private service is quick, confidential, and tailored to your individual needs.

FAQs – Period Delay Treatment
How long can I delay my period for?
Up to 17 days is typical using norethisterone.
Can I take period delay tablets while travelling abroad or for religious purposes?
Yes — many women use norethisterone to delay their period for holidays, religious pilgrimages like Hajj or Umrah, or long-haul travel. If you’re travelling soon, we recommend booking a consultation in advance. You may also want to consider getting your travel vaccinations during the same visit for added convenience.
When do I start the tablets?
Three days before your period is due. You’ll take them three times a day for the desired delay period.
Is this treatment safe?
Yes — for most healthy women. Our pharmacist will check for any risks or contraindications.
Does it affect future fertility?
No — it only delays the current cycle. Your period will return a few days after stopping treatment.
Can I get this on the NHS?
It is usually only available on the NHS in very specific circumstances. Most patients opt for private treatment.
