Description

Norethindrone 5 mg tablets are a synthetic form of the hormone progesterone, used primarily in hormonal therapy for various gynecological conditions. It works by regulating the menstrual cycle and is commonly prescribed for the treatment of amenorrhea, endometriosis, and abnormal uterine bleeding. Norethindrone functions by mimicking the effects of natural progesterone, which helps in the regulation of the endometrial lining, reducing excessive growth and abnormal bleeding.

It is sometimes prescribed in low doses for conditions like dysmenorrhea (painful periods) and in hormone replacement therapy for postmenopausal women. Norethindrone helps to manage these conditions by stabilizing hormone levels and regulating uterine activity, leading to a reduction in symptoms associated with menstrual irregularities or hormone imbalances.

Norethindrone tablets are typically taken orally with or without food, as directed by a healthcare provider. The recommended dosage may vary depending on the condition being treated. Common side effects of norethindrone may include headache, breast tenderness, nausea, and changes in menstrual flow.
