A menstrual-shift pill is a medication that adjusts female hormones to delay or advance the onset of menstruation.
By using it when your period is expected to coincide with travel, events, or important occasions, you can adjust your schedule so that your menstruation occurs at a more convenient time. By shifting your period, you can enjoy a more comfortable and flexible daily life.
Have you ever wished you could easily adjust your period dates?
“Why does my period always come right during travel, school events, an important job, or exams…?”
Most people have experienced this kind of frustration at least once.
However, it is actually possible to safely shift your period with medication.
Doing so can free you from the stress of your daily life being disrupted by menstruation, and help improve your overall quality of life.
Menstruation occurs due to the secretion of female hormones in the body.
This hormone secretion fluctuates in cycles, forming what we call the menstrual cycle.
A menstrual-shift pill artificially adjusts the amount of these hormones through oral intake to shift the menstrual cycle.
The ingredients are naturally derived hormones, so side effects are minimal and it can be used safely.
The main side effects include nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, and headaches.
Since the dosage is only one tablet per day, any side effects that appear are usually mild.
At our clinic, we also prescribe anti-nausea medication together, so you can take both safely and comfortably while adjusting your period.
Although rare, there is a small risk of blood clots (thrombosis), where blood coagulates and blocks blood vessels.
If you notice anything unusual, please feel free to consult us immediately.
To maintain stable hormone levels, take the pill at the same time each day (within a 1–2 hour window).
The method of taking it differs depending on whether you want to advance or delay your period, so please be careful.
Take one tablet daily starting 5–7 days before your next expected period.
Take one tablet daily starting no later than 5 days before your period would begin,
and continue taking it until two days before you want your period to start.
