Side effects: Common side effects of period delay tablets may include nausea, headache, breast tenderness, bloating, and mood changes. These effects are usually mild and temporary.
Additional precautions: Period delay tablets should be started before your period is due to be effective. They are not suitable for everyone, particularly individuals with a history of blood clots, liver problems, or certain hormonal conditions. This medication does not act as contraception, so alternative protection may be needed.
Risks caused by misuse or underlying conditions: Using period delay tablets without proper assessment may increase the risk of breakthrough bleeding or hormonal side effects. In rare cases, there may be an increased risk of blood clots, especially in those with pre-existing risk factors. A consultation helps ensure the treatment is safe and appropriate for you.
