FAQs

How does the pharmacist calculate the dosage?

Deltera’s logic helps calculate the number of tablets based on the patient's event dates. The consultation flow ensures the patient starts treatment 3 days before their expected period.

Can this be used as a contraceptive?

No. The clinical advice in the Deltera portal clearly explains that Norethisterone is not a contraceptive and that additional protection is required.

Is there an age limit for this PGD?

Yes, typically for patients aged 18 to 50. Deltera’s pre-screening automatically flags patients outside this range or those with high-risk factors like VTE history.

Can I offer this service entirely online?

Patients can book and complete the pre-screen via your branded portal. A brief, guided clinical check in-store or via the IP bridge completes the professional supply.
