In the female body, progesterone plays a very important role, as it is responsible for the formation of a healthy endometrium, which becomes a kind of breeding ground for the development of the embryo. The body produces progesterone at certain points of the menstrual cycle, and if the formation of a zygote does not take place, its levels rapidly drop, which causes the endometrium to flake. Norethisterone taken to delay menstrual bleeding supplies the body with progesterone, thanks to which hormone levels do not decrease, and there is no bleeding. Therefore Norethisterone can be used as a treatment capable of postponing the period in the event of particularly important occasions such as sporting tournaments or an important journey.

It is also believed that high doses of Norethisterone can be effectively used in the treatment of breast cancer, although the mechanisms of its action in this case have not been established. It most probably blocks the release of hormones from the pituitary gland, which has an inhibitory effect on tumour growth.

Norethisterone is widely used in the treatment of numerous ailments associated with hormonal imbalance. In addition to delaying the onset of the period, Norethisterone is used to treat afflictions such as:

• endometriosis
• menstrual disorders
• painful menstruation, heavy menstrual bleeding
• irregular periods, continuous, heavy menstrual bleeding or premenstrual syndrome.
• breast cancer

Since Norethisterone is a treatment containing synthetic progesterone, it is only recommended to adult women, although doctors may sometimes suggest its use to younger women. Moreover, patients who take any preparations containing progesterone should indicate this in the health form completed during the ordering process. If you are taking Norethisterone as part of therapy used to treat other ailments, and you would like to use it to delay the period, you should consult your doctor who will recommend an appropriate dosage.

Norethisterone is a hormonal treatment that affects the level of progesterone in the body, so you should not take Norethisterone when using hormonal contraception. In addition, Norethisterone should not be used without consulting a doctor by women:

• who are or might be pregnant
• who are breastfeeding
• who suffer from vaginal bleeding of unknown cause
• suffering from cardiovascular and heart disease
• who are going to undergo surgery within the next 6 weeks
• who are allergic to any of the components of the treatment
• diagnosed with liver disease

Note:
If you suspect that this treatment has caused an alarming reaction in your body, discontinue its use and consult your doctor or pharmacist.

The method of administration and the size of the daily dose of Norethisterone should be determined by a physician, but if there is a need to delay the period, it is recommended to take the medicine for three days before the onset of menstruation in the amount of 3 tablets a day – in the morning, afternoon, and evening. Norethisterone should be taken until you are ready to begin the period. Bleeding should appear within three days of discontinuation of the treatment.
Note: You should not take Norethisterone for longer than 14 days.

Taking medicines always involves a risk of side effects, because each body reacts to synthetic substances in a different way.

• nausea
• headaches
