Norethisterone

to stop periods ## I have been prescribed 2 5mg Norethisterone tablets 3 times. I was given the tablets to stop a period which I'd had for a fortnight which involved really heavy 'flooding'. This has resulted in my ankles swelling for which my Gp has given me water tablets. I am now feeling sick everyday. Is 6 tablets a day the normal dose? I was given enough tablets for about a month. ## This is a hormone that is often used to prevent pregnancy, or help regulate them, when someone experiences irregular bleeding. The NIH lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, weight changes, and PMS-like symptoms. Linda, it is hard to say, most medications can cause nausea, and vomiting as side effects. What water tablet did the doctor prescribe for you?

Hi I asked my gynae how to stop my period starting in 2 weeks time. She prescribed 5mg norethsterone once daily. I started taking on day 16. I have read that most delaying period doses are 3x daily 3 days before period. I'm concerned she made a mistake with dosing. I don't want to get my period whilst on holiday. I will be taking 5mg once a day for 30 days. ## Hello, Tanya! How are you? Yes, your doctor is trying to prevent your period from starting by keeping your hormones at once steady level for this time period. It's actually a fluctuation in your hormones, including a sudden drop off in Progesterone that cause your period to start. This replaces your natural progesterone to keep it from suddenly dropping off and inducing bleeding. Those taking higher dosages, before the...

I now feel really bloated like i am due on again and this is my usual period start date even though i only had a period 10 days ago. is this normal? ## Yes, this can be a normal side effect of taking hormonal tablets. You may start bleeding, when you stop taking them, but your body will also want to return to your normal cycle. Are there any other questions? ## I have been on Jadelle contraception for a year now.

What will I do if I missed my 1 dose of nerethisterone contraceptive pills ## Hi Melani, The patient guidelines for missing a dose of Norethindrone (Norethisterone) state the following: "Take the missed dose as soon as you remember it. However, if it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and continue your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one."

I have been experiencing abnormal bleeding and my doctor prescribed me Norethisterone for 21 days starting 21 March. The dosage indicated 2 tablets 2 times a day for 21 days. However, I don't know why I heard the pharmacist as saying 1 tablet 2 times a day. So from 21 March till just now, I have been taking 1 tablet each time. I only just realized my blunder earlier on when taking my 2nd dose of the day (to which I took 2 tablets upon realizing my mistake). Will this affect my treatment? I should just continue to take the correct dosage until I finish the medication? ## Have you consulted your doctor? You might need to have them prescribe more tablets for you to resolve the issue. Are you still bleeding? The NIH lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness,...

I have not had a cycle since having my son a year ago. I also have PCOS. I have taken 5mg Norethisterone tablets 3 times a day for 5 days. It has been 3 days now and although I had period pains on the last day of the tablets I have no signs of my period arriving. Do you think my dose was high enough? Many thanks. ## Hello, Lucy! How are you? Is that the dose your doctor advised you to take? Generally, missing your periods isn't a problem, unless you're trying to get pregnant again, so it's not anything to worry about. However, most women do get their periods about 3 days, or so, after stopping it. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, irritability, and PMS-like symptoms. Are you on any other medications? ## I also take metf...

i have been prescribe norethisterone(5mg) for 10 days due to my period delay about 3 and half month... what is actually the suitable dosage that i should take?i am very worried if the doctor prescribe me with the wrong dosage ## Hello, Mary Ann! How are you? What dosage were you expecting to be prescribed? Norethisterone is a synthetic progesterone hormone and when used like this, the intent is to basically replace the amount missing from the body, then have a sudden withdrawal of it, to induce a period.

I have been given some Penicillin VK for a sinus infection. I need to start taking norethisterone on Tuesday to delay my monthly cycle for a big event. Will the antibiotics contradict the Progesterone? I really need to NOT be having my period on Thursday ## Yes, it most likely will cause some issues with it and you may actually end up with more bleeding, rather than being able to delay your cycle. Learn more Progesterone details here. Did you end up having any luck with it? ## My daughter has found this out the hard way. Prescribed norethisterone prior to hysterectomy, she was then prescribed penicillin for throat infection by another GP. She immediately had horrendous blood loss and haemoglobin dropped from 120 to 88. She ended up with five units of blood over three separate transfusio...

i was having regular periods till 13th may. after this i got my periods on 26 june and now no periods. i had done intercourse on or after 26 july. before that it was protective. my doctor advised me to use norethisterone 5mg 3 times a day for 3 days. i have taken last one on 11 august but still no periods. i have done test on kit and its negative. is it possible that results may be wrong or how many days will it take to have periods ? ## Hello, Ruhi! How are you? No, if the test was negative, then it isn't likely that you're pregnant. You may just be experiencing a hormonal imbalance. Have you consulted your doctor, again? They may need do some more checking to find a solution. ## My last period is July 13,2016.. I did on Pregnancy Test the result is Positive, right away we Go t...
