Norethisterone 5mg Tablets

Description

Norethisterone 5mg Tablets are a reliable prescription medication used to delay menstruation and treat various menstrual conditions such as heavy, painful, or irregular periods. It contains norethisterone, a synthetic version of the hormone progesterone, which prevents the shedding of the uterine lining, thereby delaying your period.

Key Benefits:

• Allows you to delay your period for up to 17 days

• Commonly used for holidays, weddings, or religious events

• Can help manage menstrual disorders like endometriosis and menorrhagia

• Convenient oral tablet form

How It Works:
Norethisterone works by mimicking natural progesterone levels, keeping the uterine lining intact. When you stop taking the tablets, hormone levels drop, and your period begins typically 2–3 days later.

Directions for Use:

• Take one tablet three times a day, starting 3 days before your expected period

• Continue for up to 17 days (or as prescribed)

• Your period will usually begin 2–3 days after stopping the tablets

• Always follow your healthcare provider’s instructions

Who It’s For:

• Women needing to postpone their period for a short time

• Those suffering from menstrual disorders under medical supervision

• Not suitable as a contraceptive – use separate protection

Warnings & Precautions:

• Not a contraceptive – use additional birth control

• Not suitable for women with history of blood clots, liver disease, or breast cancer
