Hello
Thanks for your query.
Orgamed can be used for delaying your periods.
Ideal dosage would be twice a day, to ensure that you do not get your periods .
If your periods were due on 21st September, you should have started taking them from 15th or 16th of September onwards, and continued till the 24th.
After stopping the tablets, you would have bled within a week maximum.
Probably you did not take them on the appropriate dates.
All the best.

Hello,
Orgamed is a brand name for medroxyprogesterone. It is also sold under the name of Meprate. The drug is basically progesterone which is a female hormone. 
This is the right medicine to postpone your periods and is generally started three days prior to the begining of your periods and is continued till the time you want to delay them
Unfortunately for you,your periods got early because of some or other reason.
Thanks
