Brief Answer: NO, YOU CAN'T DELAY YOUR PERIOD ONCE STARTED. Detailed Answer: Hello, Thanks for writing to us. NO, It can't delay your period once started. If you want to start taking the pill, it will only slow the bleeding down and make the flow not as heavy. However, if you take them continuously, it will stop your period but it is not advised usually because your next cycle may be irregular due to hormonal imbalance. It is wise to wait for period over. Hope, I have answered your query. Kindly, close the discussion if you don't have any other query. Wish your good health and take care yourself.

Brief Answer: YOU CAN TRY FOLLOWING COMBINATION. Detailed Answer: Hello, Thanks for follow up query. In that case, you can take Norethisterone Pill 5 mg and Tranexamic acid tab 500 mg twice daily (both) to stop or arrest period bleeding. If bleeding stops, you must continue Norethisterone pill to avoid withdrawal bleeding during your holidays. It will be helpful for you if it works completely. Otherwise, you have no choice to shorten the length of your period. Hope, it helps for your information. Kindly, close the discussion. All the best and good luck. Regards, Dr Soumen
