This practice will no longer be prescribing Noresthisterone, or other medications, to delay periods for women over the age of 16 going on holiday.
The practice no longer provides prescriptions for this as it is not part of our core contract. In order to carry on delivering safe core services, it has been necessary to stop doing unfunded work.
We continue to provide a range of women’s health services and of course offer treatment for a range of menstrual problems, such as painful or heavy periods.
Noresthisterone is now available to buy at participating pharmacies eg boots online. Please contact them to assess your suitability to take the medication.
For those under 16, please book an appointment with your GP. This will be a routine appointment so please plan ahead.
Thank you.
