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.
