Norethisterone

What is Norethisterone?

Norethisterone 5mg is a synthetic version of the naturally occurring hormone progesterone. It belongs to a group of medicines known as progestogens and is widely used for the effective delay of menstruation. Whether you have a holiday, a wedding, or a sporting event approaching, Norethisterone provides a reliable way to manage your menstrual cycle to suit your schedule.

The medication works by maintaining the levels of progesterone in the body. Typically, a drop in progesterone levels triggers the lining of the womb to shed, resulting in a period. By keeping these hormone levels elevated, Norethisterone prevents the womb lining from breaking down, effectively postponing your period. This clinical treatment is now available through online consultation at Prescriptsy, providing a legitimate and safe route for women in the UK to access hormonal care.

How to Take Norethisterone 5mg Properly

For the treatment to work effectively, it must be taken according to specific timing. The standard dose for period delay is one Norethisterone 5mg tablet taken three times a day. To ensure your period is successfully delayed, you must begin the course three days before your expected period start date.

You should continue taking the tablets for as long as you wish to delay your period, up to a maximum of 17 days. Once you stop taking the medication, your period will usually arrive within two to three days. It is important to note that Norethisterone is not a contraceptive and cannot be used to prevent pregnancy. If you are already using a combined oral contraceptive pill, different rules may apply, and you should consult with our medical team during your consultation.

Possible Side Effects

As with all prescription medications, Norethisterone must be used responsibly under medical supervision. A prescription is required by law to ensure the medication is safe for your specific health profile; this prescription is provided by our licensed doctors following a successful online consultation.

While most women tolerate Norethisterone well, some may experience side effects. These can include:

• Occasional spotting or breakthrough bleeding
• Breast tenderness
• Nausea or headaches
• Changes in mood or sex drive

Norethisterone may not be suitable for women with a history of blood clots (thrombosis), liver disease, or certain types of cancer. It is also not suitable for use during pregnancy. It is essential that you provide a full and honest medical history during your online consultation so our clinicians can ensure your safety. Always read the Patient Information Leaflet provided with your medication before starting the treatment.
