Would Norethisterone Be Acceptable To Take To Postpone Periods?

Hi I gave. Thirteen year old daughter and she s had her periods for ten months now with a regular cycle. Would Norethisterone be acceptable for her to take for three weeks, she s due her period right at the start of our holiday to Florida which would mean she missed out on a week of fun at the villa. Just want to be sure it s safe to take fir this length of time

Hi & Welcome.

Norethisterone is a type of female hormone (progestin) used to treat various conditions like to regularize the periods, to prepone or postpone the periods, etc.
Taken for a short duration like for 3 weeks it is safe and effective way to postopone her periods.

It can be given as 5 mg Norethisterone tablet twice a day 3 days before the expected period & to be continued for desired duration of holidays in Florida like 3 weeks, and then she would bleed within a week after stopping the tablets.
You can plan the dates accordingly.

Hope I could answer your query.
