Description

How does Norethisterone Work?

Norethisterone works by mimicking the action of natural progesterone in the body. It helps to maintain the lining of the uterus, preventing it from shedding, which delays the menstrual period. It is also used to treat conditions like heavy menstrual bleeding and endometriosis by regulating hormone levels and reducing excessive bleeding.
