I am getting stomach pain from Norethindrone. Will this go away with time? ## Generally most side effects last about 4 to 5 weeks, as your body gets used to a new medication, and then begin to taper off in severity, before disappearing. However, if the pain is severe, you should consult your doctor as this might not be the right medication for you. Have you been taking it with food, or on an empty stomach? Other side effects may include dizziness, acne, weight changes, bloating, and blurred vision. Ref: Norethindrone Information Are you on any other medications?

What exactly is Norethin Ace 5mg? When I try researching it all I can find is Norethindrone Acetole and Regastrone. I have several allergies to medications and I really need to know as much information on the correct medication (Norethin Ace 5mg). Side effects & drug interactions due to the fact that I am on many different medications and also have severe anxiety until I am fully educated on this new medication and before I will even start taking it. Any and all information is greatly appreciated. Thanking you in advanced.....Andi ## Hi, Andi! How are you? The information you've found is exactly what it is, Norethindrone Acetate, with Regestrone, the Norethin Ace is just an abbreviation. It is commonly used to treat women who are experiencing menstrual issues, such as abnormal p...

Hi! I want to postpone my periods. They are always regular. I had my last periods on 16th april (was 1st day). Now if i have to take primolut nor 10mg from when do i have to start the dosage? From which date i have to start in this month to postphone my periods? Thanks. ## Hi rrk, Based on my research, Primolut Nor (10 mg) contains the active ingredient Norethindrone; which is a molecule used in some combined oral contraceptive pills, progestogen only pills and is also available as a stand-alone drug. It is a progestogen and can be used to treat premenstrual syndrome, painful periods, abnormal heavy bleeding, irregular periods, menopausal syndrome (in combination with oestrogen), or to postpone a period.

I didn’t want to bleed this summer so skipped the 4 placebo pills and started the next month and didn’t bleed for 4 weeks. I just finished the 4 placebos and no blood. I’m worried it’s pushing off the blood. I’m starting the blue pill tonight. Can the body even bleed once the blue pill is in the system? Would appreciate someone’s experience. Thanks ## Hello Momo5, I hope you are having a good day. I'll start by explaining how this medication works. This combination hormone medication is used to prevent pregnancy. It contains 2 hormones: norethindrone (a progestin) and ethinyl estradiol (an estrogen). It works mainly by preventing the release of an egg (ovulation) during your menstrual cycle. Because this medication changes the hormones in your bod...

I have been on norethindrone for 5 years from abnormal menstrual bleeding. My doctor told me I could stop taking it at any time to see if I have gone through menopause yet. Both times I tried, my body aches so severely I can barely lay down or even put clothes on without wincing. Is this common? Why would this happen? Any suggestions of how I can stop taking it and avoid this agony? ## Hi Michelle, Sorry to hear about your situation. Based on your story, it sounds like there may be withdrawal symptoms associated with stopping Norethindrone... In such cases, perhaps it would be best to consult your doctor about a tapering regimen in order to help mitigate these unwanted side effects while you slowly titrate off the medication. After 5 years of use, it's likely that your body has beco...

My wife has been advised to take regestrone 5 mg for 5 days from 18/2, her period is due on 23/02. We are married since 3 years trying to have a baby. Please advise how the use of this medicine helps? ## Regestrone is sometimes used to help with ovulation, so she produces an egg to aid in getting pregnant. I am assuming that is why she was only on it for 5 days, rather than staying on it continuously. Is there anything else I can help you with? ## my gynec has advised to take the medcine (Regrestrone) for 21 days to stop the bleeding and after 2 days i will getmy regular periods is there any side effects ? is this is steriod type? ## No, this is not a steroid, Pumba, this is a hormone tablet.

I was put on norethindrone when I was approx. 45 (11 years ago) to stop extremely heavy periods, in an attempt to avoid a hysterectomy. The drug worked well...I haven't had a period in the last 11 years. Problem is my endometrial lining has increased (I was evaluated - no problem) so a good suggestion was made to stop taking the norethindrone. I may be in menopause but diagnostics can't tell because the drug masks what's going on. I've been off norethindrone for a week today. No bleeding, cramps or anything. Just wonder if anyone else has been through this before. It's hard to find any data on the internet and the doctors don't really seem to understand effects from long term use. Thanks for any info that can be provided. ## Anytime you use hormones, such as this...

i've been using nustrate injection for the past 4 months and every time when i have a shot my breasts become sore and ichy.is this one of the side effects? ## Nur-Isterate contains the active ingredient Norethindrone, it is a hormonal injection used to help prevent pregnancy, regulate menstrual cycles and has a few other medical uses. However because it acts on your hormones, "enlarged or tender breasts" and other bodily changes can be common side effects. Other possible side effects to be aware of may include those listed here: nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/a604034.html#side-effects I hope this info helps! ## i have been using unstrate an i was bleeding almost everyday an i stopped but am still bleeding an now i want to be pregnant with my first born please help me

Hi, I had been having very heavy menstrual bleeding for the last 2 months (Dec/Jan) so my dr. prescribed me norethindrone 5mg to take the first day of my period and to take it everyday. I also have the paragard copper IUD (which is partly the reason for the heavy bleeding). I got my period on Feb. 1st and started taking the norethindrone that day and I have been bleeding every day since then (now Feb. 16th). It started out light and it has gotten heavier the longer I have been on it. It is to the point where I am heavier now with the medicine than without. I am calling my doctor tomorrow but he has been out of the office for the last 4 days. Has anyone else had this problem? Should I just stop taking it? What happens if I stop taking it? I started getting night sweats the first day I to...

I had very heavy periods with alot of cramping so my doctor suggested Cryoablation. Before I did that I had to have a cyst and fibroid removed. He then put me on a 5mg Norethindrone once a day originally for 4 months after the Cryoablation. At my 3 month checkup I still hadn't had a regular period so he told me to stop taking it. It's been a week since I stopped and still no period but terrible headaches daily, some cramping and alot of nausea. I cannot be pregnant so I'm not worried about that but wondering if the side effects are normal and how long I can expect them. ## Hello, Tonya! How are you? I'm very sorry about the problems that you're having. Some women no longer have periods, or have extremely light ones, after having cryoablation done. I'm surprised t...
