At Higher Crumpsall Pharmacy, we provide professional period-delay treatment in Manchester, with same-day medication supply and private consultations. No GP referral needed. No long waits.


Period delay treatment temporarily postpones your menstrual period using prescription medication. The most commonly prescribed option is Norethisterone, a synthetic progesterone hormone that prevents your womb lining from shedding until you stop taking it.
Take one 5mg tablet three times daily, starting 3 days before your expected period. Your period typically returns 2 to 3 days after stopping. Around 80-90% effective when taken correctly.
No medical condition is required to use this service. If your period timing causes significant disruption, that is reason enough.
Common reasons women come to us:
Personal comfort is enough.
Period delay treatment is suitable for many women, but a clinical assessment is always carried out first.
Likely suitable if you have a regular cycle, are in good health, and are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
Not suitable if you have a history of blood clots, cardiovascular conditions, liver problems, breast cancer, or unexplained vaginal bleeding.
Our clinician will assess your full medical history before any prescription is issued.
Book online or call during opening hours. We recommend booking 2 to 3 weeks before you need treatment.
Our clinician reviews your menstrual cycle, delay requirements, and medical history. Blood pressure check carried out. Treatment suitability confirmed.
Norethisterone prescription dispensed on-site immediately after your consultation. No separate pharmacy trip needed.
Full written guidance provided — when to start, dosage schedule, duration, and what to expect when your period returns.
