How Does Norethisterone Work?
Regulating the Menstrual Cycle
Norethisterone works by maintaining high levels of synthetic progesterone in the body. Normally, progesterone levels rise after ovulation to prepare the womb lining for a potential pregnancy. If pregnancy doesn’t occur, progesterone levels drop, leading to menstruation. Norethisterone prevents this drop, delaying your period until you stop taking the tablets.
Managing Menstrual Disorders
Norethisterone can help manage conditions like heavy, painful, or irregular periods by regulating hormone levels and controlling the womb lining’s development and shedding.
Treating Endometriosis
For women with endometriosis, Norethisterone helps reduce the growth of tissue outside the womb, easing pain and discomfort related to the condition.
Premenstrual Tension (PMT)
By stabilizing hormone levels, Norethisterone can reduce symptoms of PMT, such as mood swings, bloating, and irritability.
In summary, Norethisterone works by stabilizing progesterone levels in the body, helping to manage various menstrual-related issues.
