Please note:
The Family Chemist Clinician can prescribe Provera “off-license” to delay a patient’s period. Although Provera is not licensed in the UK for this use, doctors commonly use it as an alternative treatment for period delay if norethisterone is not suitable. We recommend you try norethisterone first before trying Provera.

Provera FAQs
What is Provera?
Provera is a brand name with a active ingredient called medroxyprogesterone. Medroxyprogesterone is a synthetic progestogen which can safely allow you to delay your period for up to 17 days. During your period your body has a natural fall in its norethisterone which causes the shedding of your womb lining. Norethisterone keeps your progesterone levels up and therefore delays your period.
Pharmacies frequently split boxes of Provera, which are available in 10 or 90 tablet sizes.
We do not work as a contraceptive nor supply Provera to patients who use other contraceptives or female hormones. Please consult your GP if you would like to delay your period whilst on contraceptives.
