General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for writing to HCM.
I have gone through your question and understand your concern.
It is only possible to delay (postpone) the periods but not quicken it.
It is suggested to take Tablet. Norethisterone 5mg 2-3 tablets per day.
In India, it is available by the name of Primolut N.
This medicine has to be started at least 5 days before the expected period to have its effect. If taken close to the expected period then it may not be able to delay the period.
Periods will occur 5-7 days after you stop this medication.
It is fine to take this option occasionally but not regularly as it may lead to irregular periods in future.
Kindly discuss with your treating family doctor for the prescription.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
Wish you good health.
All the best.
I find this answer helpful
