In detail
Period Delay Tablets at Kenmakos Medical
Need to delay your period for an important event or holiday? Kenmakos Medical in Bletchley offers period delay tablets prescribed by our experienced pharmacists. We provide discreet, confidential consultations to help you manage your menstrual cycle when you need to.
01How do period delay tablets work?
Period delay tablets contain norethisterone, a synthetic hormone that prevents the lining of your womb from shedding, effectively postponing your period. You start taking the tablets three days before your period is due and continue until you want your period to start. Once you stop taking them, your period will usually begin within two to three days. This method is safe and effective when used correctly under pharmacy guidance.
02Who can take period delay tablets?
Most women aged 18 and over can safely use period delay tablets, though certain conditions may make them unsuitable. Our pharmacists at Kenmakos Medical will ask about your medical history, current medications, and any previous blood clots or heart conditions. If you're unsure whether this service is right for you, we recommend booking a confidential consultation at our Bletchley pharmacy. We're here to help you find the best solution for your needs.
03How far in advance should I order?
We recommend visiting Kenmakos Medical at least one week before you need your period delayed to allow time for consultation and dispensing. However, if you're in Milton Keynes and need them urgently, contact us to discuss availability. Our team works quickly to support your plans, whether you're preparing for a holiday, wedding, or special event. Same-day service may be possible depending on demand, so it's worth calling ahead.
04Are there any side effects?
Period delay tablets are generally well tolerated, though some women experience mild side effects such as nausea, headaches, or breast tenderness. These effects are usually temporary and resolve once you stop taking the tablets. More serious side effects are rare but can include blood clots, so it's important to discuss your full medical history with our pharmacists. We'll monitor your suitability and answer any concerns you have during your consultation at our Bletchley location.

FAQs

Period Delay TabletsCan I use period delay tablets every month?

Period Delay TabletsWhat if I'm taking other medications?
Some medications can interact with period delay tablets, so it's essential to tell our pharmacists about everything you're currently taking. We'll review your prescriptions and over-the-counter medicines during your consultation to ensure it's safe for you to use this service.

Your period may be slightly heavier or longer than usual when it starts after taking delay tablets, but this is temporary and typically returns to normal the following month. If you experience unusually heavy bleeding, contact our pharmacy for advice.

Written by our prescriber
Period Delay Tablets at Kenmakos Medical
Period delay tablets offer a safe, reversible way to postpone your period for special occasions, holidays, or important events. Our pharmacists at Kenmakos Medical in Bletchley can advise you on this discreet service and help you access the medication you need.
How Period Delay Tablets Work
Period delay tablets contain norethisterone, a synthetic progestogen that prevents the breakdown of the womb lining, effectively postponing menstruation. You typically start taking the tablets three days before your period is due and continue until you want your period to begin. Once you stop taking them, your period usually starts within two to three days.
This method is suitable for most women of reproductive age and is particularly useful for holidays, sporting events, exams, or other significant occasions. The tablets are taken orally and work with your body's natural cycle, making them a straightforward and non-invasive option.
Safety and Effectiveness
Period delay tablets have been used safely for decades and are recommended by the NHS when appropriate. They do not affect your fertility and do not provide contraception, so you should continue using your regular contraceptive method if needed. Side effects are generally mild and may include nausea, headaches, or breast tenderness, similar to those experienced with hormonal contraceptives.
The tablets are most effective when started at the right time in your cycle, which is why our pharmacists at Kenmakos Medical will discuss your individual circumstances and timing with you. Effectiveness rates are high when used correctly, with most women successfully delaying their period as intended.
Who Can Use Period Delay Tablets
Most women aged 18 and over can safely use period delay tablets, but certain medical conditions and medications may mean they are not suitable for you. Women with a history of blood clots, stroke, heart disease, or uncontrolled high blood pressure should not use them. Our pharmacists will ask about your medical history to ensure this service is appropriate for your individual health profile.
If you are breastfeeding, pregnant, or have had recent surgery, period delay tablets may not be recommended. During your consultation at our Bletchley pharmacy, we will discuss any concerns and explore alternative options if needed.
Accessing the Service at Kenmakos Medical
Our pharmacists at Kenmakos Medical provide a confidential consultation to assess your suitability for period delay tablets and answer any questions you may have. We will discuss the timing of when to start the tablets, potential side effects, and what to expect when you stop taking them. The consultation is straightforward and takes place in a private consultation room.
Once approved, you can collect your prescription from our Bletchley pharmacy or have it sent to your preferred pharmacy. We recommend booking your consultation at least two weeks before you need the tablets to allow time for assessment and dispensing. Our team is here to make this service as convenient and discreet as possible for patients across Milton Keynes.
