Description

NORETHISTERONE belongs to the class of medicines called progestogens used to treat heavy, painful, or irregular periods, premenstrual syndrome (PMS), and endometriosis. Additionally, NORETHISTERONE may be used in the treatment of breast cancer. Endometriosis is a disorder in which the uterus’s tissue lining (endometrium) grows on the ovaries, bowel, or tissues lining the pelvis. The most common symptom is pelvic pain.

NORETHISTERONE contains Norethisterone that works by mimicking the activity of the natural hormone progesterone. Thereby, it restores hormone levels in the body and regulates the growth and shedding of the womb lining. Thus, it helps to treat menstrual disorders.

Take NORETHISTERONE as prescribed by your doctor. You are advised to take NORETHISTERONE for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you based on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience unusual vaginal bleeding or spotting, dizziness, dry mouth, constipation, nausea, diarrhea, headache, breast pain, and tenderness. Most of these side effects of NORETHISTERONE do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

If you are allergic to NORETHISTERONE or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. NORETHISTERONE is not recommended for pregnant women as it may harm the unborn baby. If you are breastfeeding, consult a doctor before taking NORETHISTERONE. It is advised to use effective non-hormonal contraceptives such as condoms to avoid pregnancy while taking NORETHISTERONE. You are advised to stop smoking while taking NORETHISTERONE as it may increase the risk of adverse effects.
