Norethisterone is a type of man-made hormone that sustains the lining of the uterus. Normally around the time before a woman begins her period she experiences a drop in the level of progestogen in her body. When it falls below a certain level, the lining of the uterus is shed as menstrual period. By taking Norethisterone tablets the lining of the uterus does not shed until you finish your course of tablets.

It's best to start taking the first Norethisterone in the pack three days before you are due to start your period. Once the pack is finished it takes a couple of days for anything to happen so you'll be ok to start your period again after two or three days. It's not recommended that you use Norethisterone to delay your period for more than two weeks at a time.

Although this pill is well suited to most women not using the pill, there are instances where Norethisterone should be used with caution. This includes patients who are obese or have a family member who has had a blood clot, raised blood pressure, diabetes, depression, asthma, heart, liver or kidney problems, varicose veins, smoking, multiple sclerosis.

It goes without saying that children can not take Norethisterone or patients who are allergic to the ingredients. If you have any doubts as to whether you can take this pill, take a free consultation with a registered doctor at 121doc.

Some users may experience a heavier period than normal after coming off this pill. If you're planning to only delay periods by a few days there risk of them being particularly heavy or uncomfortable when they do come is low.

This risk increases with the length of time spent without having a period, if you miss out a whole month, for instance, you may suffer a heavier, more painful bleed after finishing your course of pills.
