ProgestogenIndication Dosage
Norethisterone is a medication primarily indicated for the management of various gynecological conditions. It is commonly prescribed to treat irregular menstrual cycles, alleviate heavy or painful periods (menorrhagia and dysmenorrhea), and regulate menstrual cycles in cases of abnormal uterine bleeding. Additionally, Norethisterone may be used to delay menstruation for specific medical or lifestyle reasons, such as travel plans or medical procedures. This medication works by mimicking the effects of the hormone progesterone and can help address hormonal imbalances related to the menstrual cycle.
