Period Delay Medications Policy

Important Update: Period Delay Medications

At Giffords Surgery, we prioritise the comprehensive health and well-being of our patients. While we continue to provide a wide range of women’s health services—including treatments for menstrual problems such as painful or heavy periods—we do not prescribe medications, such as Norethisterone, for the purpose of delaying periods for holidays or special events.

For those seeking period delay medication, Norethisterone is now available over the counter at participating pharmacies. We recommend contacting your local pharmacy, where a qualified professional can assess your suitability for the medication.

Please note, Giffords Surgery does not endorse specific providers. However, there are a number of accredited healthcare organisations that also offer period delay services.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
