Stay in control of your plans with safe, effective period delay solutions expertly prescribed when you need them most.
Period delay is the use of prescription medication to safely postpone a menstrual period. It is often chosen for convenience during travel, holidays, weddings, sporting events, or other important occasions where managing a period may be difficult.
It is important to note that period delay medication does not act as contraception, so additional protection is required to prevent pregnancy. Suitability depends on individual health factors, which is why a pharmacist or prescriber must assess each patient before supplying treatment.
