Norethisterone Oenanthate is a medication prescribed by healthcare professionals for specific therapeutic purposes. It is commonly indicated for the following medical conditions and situations:
Contraception: Norethisterone Oenanthate is used as a hormonal contraceptive to prevent pregnancy. It works by suppressing ovulation and altering cervical mucus, making it difficult for sperm to reach the egg.
Abnormal Uterine Bleeding: This medication may be prescribed to manage irregular or heavy menstrual bleeding, including conditions like dysfunctional uterine bleeding, menorrhagia, and irregular periods.
Endometriosis: Norethisterone Oenanthate can help alleviate the symptoms of endometriosis, a painful condition in which tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside the uterus.
Amenorrhea: In some cases of primary and secondary amenorrhea (absence of menstruation), this medication may be used to induce a withdrawal bleed.
Hormone Replacement Therapy: Norethisterone Oenanthate may be part of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) in postmenopausal women to relieve symptoms associated with estrogen deficiency, such as hot flashes and vaginal dryness.
