Prescribed Norethisterone, To Delay Periods. Will This Cause Any Harm If Taken Earlier?

Hi, I have been prescribed Norethisterone to delay my period while I am on holiday. It was a last minute booked holiday though so I have not been keeping track off my periods to plan for it, so I m not sure of the exact date that I will come on. I am wondering that if I end up taking it to early, will this cause any harm or stop it from working? Thanks

No, it does not cause any harm or stop it from working but, you will have your bleeding just 7 days after stopping of the drug.
