Norethisterone is a synthetic form of the hormone progesterone, commonly used to delay periods for special occasions, travel, or important events. Taken as a tablet three times a day, it works by maintaining hormone levels that prevent the shedding of the womb lining, thereby delaying menstruation. To be effective, Norethisterone should usually be started 3 days before your period is due and can delay your period for up to 17 days. It is not a contraceptive, so additional protection is needed if you’re avoiding pregnancy.
