Norethisterone

How does Norethisterone work?

Norethisterone belongs to a group of medications called progestogens. These are similar to the natural female hormone progesterone, which can have an effect on a woman’s menstrual cycle.

Benefits of Norethisterone:

When women use Norethisterone it can provide them with relief or control over their menstrual cycle, particularly when the women regularly experience heavy or irregular periods.

It can also treat premenstrual tension (PMT), and can delay your period for up to 3 weeks, which can be useful if you are going on holiday or travelling and do not want to be menstruating. It’s a highly effective multi-use drug, treating other more serious conditions too like endometriosis and breast cancer.

How to take Norethisterone:

Before taking Norethisterone, you should always follow your doctor’s instructions, and follow the instructions given to you on the patient information leaflet.

Norethisterone tablets should always be taken orally and swallowed with water. The recommended dosage of Norethisterone will be determined by the condition you are being treated for and the severity of it. Your doctor will be able to guide you on this. If you forget to take your Norethisterone tablet, you should take the tablet as soon as you remember and carry on as normal, but you should never take a double dosage to make up for a missing one.

Dosage:

Norethisterone usually comes in 5mg tablets, but your dosage will be dependent on what condition you are trying to treat, and will be calculated by your doctor. If you are taking the medication to control heavy bleeding while on your period, you will usually take 1 tablet 3 times a day for 10 days. If you are taking the medication for premenstrual tension, you should take 1 tablet a day for 10 days. If you are using the medication to treat endometriosis, the recommended dosage is 3 tablets a day for at least 6 months. If you are using the medication to treat cancer, you should take 8-12 tablets a day. Finally, if you are using the medication to delay your period, the recommended dosage is 3 tablets a day, starting 3 days before your period is supposed to start.

Side effects of Norethisterone:

Like any other medicine, Norethisterone comes with the risk of side effects, but not everybody will experience them. Some of the side effects that this medication can cause are more common than others, but if you suffer any side effects that cause concern, you should get in touch with your GP or doctor as soon as possible.
