Period Delay at Higher Crumpsall Pharmacy and Travel Clinic

Convenient and Discreet Support

If you’re looking to delay your period for a special occasion, holiday, or important event, Higher Crumpsall Pharmacy and Travel Clinic can help.

We offer a private consultation service and, where appropriate, can provide period delay tablets safely and conveniently — without the need to see a GP.

Why Might You Want to Delay Your Period?

Many people choose to delay their period for:

  • Holidays and travel (especially beach or active trips)

  • Religious or cultural reasons

  • Sports events or competitions

  • Weddings, honeymoons, or special occasions

  • Exams or other stressful times

Whatever your reason, our clinicians are here to offer discreet, professional support and advice.

How Does Period Delay Treatment Work?

We typically prescribe a hormone tablet called norethisterone, which works by temporarily delaying your period.

  • It is usually taken 3 days before your period is due

  • You continue taking it up to 3 times a day for up to 14 days

  • Your period will usually start a few days after you stop taking the tablets

This medication is generally safe and effective for short-term use, but it’s not suitable for everyone — especially those with a history of blood clots, liver disease, or certain other medical conditions. That’s why a consultation is important.

Book a Period Delay Consultation

Our trained clinicians can assess your needs quickly and safely through a private consultation, either in person or over the phone. If the treatment is suitable, we can supply your medication directly from our clinic — no long waits or GP appointments needed.
