Question : I want to delay my periods by 1 week. Could you please prescribe some medicine

Answered by Dr. Manisha Jain (5 hours later)

Brief Answer:
Tablet Norethisterone advised

Detailed Answer:
Hello mam, thanks for trusting health magic.
Take tablet norethisterone 5 mg twice a day from 3 days prior to the date of expected periods to the day till you want to postpone periods.
After leaving the tablet you will get periods in 2-5 days.
But it is a prescription drug so get one from your doctor to avoid inconvenience.
Regards
Dr Manisha
