Period Delay Service in Central reading, RG1 7LL
At Saood Pharmacy, we offer a professional Period Delay Service that helps you postpone your period safely and discreetly when you need more flexibility—for example, for holidays, special events, travel plans, exams, or important occasions. This service is pharmacist‑led, private, and available without a GP appointment.
What Is Period Delay Treatment?
Period delay tablets contain norethisterone, a licensed prescription medication that works by temporarily maintaining hormone levels to prevent your menstrual cycle from starting. When taken correctly, this can delay your period for up to 17 days. Your period usually begins 2–3 days after you stop taking the tablets.
How Our Period Delay Service Works
To access this service at Saood Pharmacy, the following usually applies:
Private Consultation: Speak with one of our trained pharmacists for a confidential review of your medical history and suitability for treatment.
Pharmacist Assessment: During the consultation, we’ll check it’s safe for you to use period delay tablets and answer any questions you have.
Medication Supply: If appropriate, we will supply the medication and provide clear instructions on how to take it.
How to Take Period Delay Tablets
To be effective:
- Begin taking the tablets 3 days before your expected period.
- Take one tablet three times a day (as directed) for the duration you want to delay your period.
- Your period should start shortly after you stop taking the tablets.
Who Can Use This Service
This service is typically suitable for people who:
- Are aged 16 years or over
- Are not currently on hormonal contraception
- Want to delay their period for a specific reason like travel or events
- Have a regular menstrual cycle
During the consultation, we’ll make sure period delay tablets are safe and appropriate for you.
Important Safety Information: Period delay tablets are not a contraceptive, so you can still get pregnant while using them. Always use reliable contraception if needed. Some people may experience mild side effects such as nausea, headaches, breast tenderness, or mood changes—your pharmacist will explain these during your appointment.
