Benefits and Side Effects of Oral Contraceptive Norethisterone

When it comes to the regulation of female hormones, ovulation, and menstrual cycles, Norethisterone is one of the most commonly used medicines. But you should never take medication before finding a little bit more about how it works and whether it has any side effects.

So, if your doctor has prescribed Norethisterone to you, but you want to find out more about it, you’ve come to the right place. Starting from how this medicine even works, let’s talk about how it may help you and what side effects it may cause.

 

What Is Norethisterone?
Norethindrone is a form of progesterone, a female hormone important for regulating ovulation and menstruation, which your body produces naturally. With Norethisterone tablets, the hormone is administered to you in artificial doses to fix your hormone levels.

Generally, this medication is used to treat menstrual disorders, endometriosis, or abnormal vaginal bleeding caused by a hormone imbalance.

But apart from that, it’s also used for birth control or as a contraceptive to prevent pregnancy. However, that doesn’t mean that you should rely on it as a sole method to avoid pregnancy.

 

Benefits of Norethisterone
While benefits is a strong word to use, Norethisterone is considerably effective as a birth control or period delay medicine.

It’s used to treat women who may have stopped having their periods for several months (called amenorrhea) due to reasons other than pregnancy or menopause. Moreover, Norethisterone can also be used to treat women with abnormal bleeding from the uterus.

Apart from that, this medicine is used to treat endometriosis, in which tissue that normally lines the inside of the uterus is found outside the uterus in the abdomen/pelvic area, causing painful/irregular periods.

 

Side Effects of Norethisterone

●       Among possible side effects of Norethisterone include:

●       Nausea

●       Vomiting

●       Headaches

●       Bloating

●       Breast Tenderness

●       Weight Gain

●       Vaginal bleeding between periods (or spotting)

●       Missed or irregular periods

●       Increase in blood pressure

If any of these effects persist or worsen, you should tell your doctor as soon as possible.

Other more severe side effects may sometimes occur, and if this happens, you should immediately consult medical help.

Overall, Norethisterone is an effective hormonal balance treatment but should be used with caution. Whether it suits you, you may continue to take it according to what your doctor tells you.
