Discreet, Professional Support — When Timing Matters Most

Sometimes women may want to delay their period — whether it's for a wedding, a holiday, or a religious pilgrimage such as Hajj or Umrah. At McKay Pharmacy, we offer a private and supportive Period Delay Service to help you plan around life’s important moments.

How It Works

For women not taking hormonal contraception, a medication called norethisterone — a synthetic version of the hormone progesterone — can be prescribed to safely delay the onset of menstruation.

Our trained pharmacists will assess your suitability through a short, confidential consultation and, if appropriate, provide the medication directly in the pharmacy.

What You Need to Know

• Suitable for women not using hormonal contraception

• Norethisterone is typically taken 3 days before your period is due

• It can delay your period for up to 17 days (depending on when you stop taking it)

• Most effective when started and taken as directed

• No GP appointment needed
