Brief Answer: It can be used for both. Detailed Answer: Hello, Thanks for trusting us with your health concern. Regestrone tablets contain the active ingredient norethisterone, which is a synthetic hormone similar to the naturally occurring sex hormone, progesterone. This medication is used to prolong the periods in women who are not pregnant. It can be used to both pre pone and postpone the periods. To prepone the periods you need to start taking the medicine at least 10 days before the expected date of your periods. You can discuss this with a Gynaecologist regarding this and get a prescription for the same. Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
