Norethindrone and acetate in combination with estrogen as contraceptive (oral). It is reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen.Norethisterone, also known as norethindrone, as well as 19-nor-17α-ethynyltestosterone, is a drug 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. It is also commonly used to help prevent uterine hemorrhage in complicated non-surgical or pre-surgical gynecologic cases and in treating non responsive cyclical mastalgia. Norethindrone was the first orally highly active progestin to be synthesized. It was synthesized for the first time by chemists Luis Miramontes, Carl Djerassi, and George Rosenkranz at Syntex in Mexico City in 1951. It was the progestin used in one of the first three oral contraceptives. Its related ester, norethisterone acetate, is used for the same indications.Description:Norethisterone, norethindrone or 19-nor-17α -ethynyltestosterone is a molecule used in some combinedoral contraceptive pills, progestogen only pills and is also available as a stand-alone drug.

Applications:Norethisterone contains a hormone which is similar to the hormoneprogestogen that is naturallyproduced by the body. It is used to treat a number of menstrual cycle disorders. Norethisterone isalso used to help treat breast cancer.This leaflet discusses norethisterone when it is used to treat heavy periods. Although othertreatment options for heavy periods are more common, norethisterone is sometimes considered if othertreatments have not worked or are unsuitable. Norethisterone treatment aims to reduce the amount of blood loss. When taking norethisterone in this way, it does not act as a contraceptive.
