Norethisterone 5mg Tablets
Norethisterone 5mg tablets offer a temporary solution for delaying periods by mimicking progesterone’s effects. They should be used sparingly, and those requiring frequent use should seek medical advice to explore more sustainable options for period management.
How Norethisterone Works
- Progesterone Levels: Throughout the menstrual cycle, progesterone levels naturally rise and fall.
- Period Delay: Taking Norethisterone tablets a few days before your period is due can temporarily halt the shedding of the womb lining, effectively delaying your period.
- Resuming Normalcy: Once you stop taking Norethisterone, progesterone levels return to normal, and your next period typically begins within 2-3 days.
Usage Guidelines
- Occasional Use: Norethisterone should be used occasionally to delay periods. Regular or frequent use is not recommended.
- Consult Your GP: If you find the need to use Norethisterone regularly, consult your GP. A low-dose hormonal contraceptive, such as a pill, might be a more suitable option for managing frequent or heavy periods.
