Hi doctor,
I am 21 years old. My date of period is 16th and it got over on 20th. I need to travel. If I start taking pills 15 days prior to my date, will it delay my periods?
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
In case you want to postpone your periods, then start taking the medication a week before your scheduled periods and then you can postpone the periods.
Patient's Query
Thank you doctor,
How long do I continue the pills once I start and can you recommend some names of pills I can take?
Hello,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
You can take tablet Primolut N (Norethisterone) 5 mg twice a day from a week before your scheduled periods and continue taking it till you want to delay your periods. Once you want to get back your periods, stop the medication. Within a week or so you will get back your periods.
Take care.

Thank you doctor,
Any other names?
Hello,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
Deviry (Medroxyprogesterone) 10 mg will also help you.
