Norethisterone, also known as norethindrone and sold under many brand names, is a progestin medication used in birth control pills, menopausal hormone therapy, and for the treatment of gynecological disorders.[5] This includes for endometriosis, dysfunctional uterine bleeding, and painful periods.[5] It is used by mouth or, as norethisterone enantate, by injection into muscle.[5] It is available in both low-dose and high-dose formulations and both alone and in combination with an estrogen.[5]
Common side effects include menstrual irregularities, headaches, nausea, and breast tenderness.[6] Other side effects may include depression, acne, increased hair growth.[6][7] It may be used as birth control when breastfeeding.[8] It is a manufactured progestin which causes the endometrium to change from the proliferative phase to the secretory phase.[6] It is sometimes referred to as a "first-generation" progestin.[9]
Norethisterone was first made in 1951 and was one of the first progestins to be developed.[10][11] It came into medical use in 1957 and was introduced in combination with an estrogen as birth control in 1963.[11][12] It is available as a generic medication.[5] In the United Kingdom 90 tablets of 5 mg costs the NHS about £4 as of 2021.[5] In the United States a month of medication costs about 9 USD.[13] In 2018, it was the 138th most commonly prescribed medication in the United States, with more than 5 million prescriptions.[14][15]
