Frequently asked questions

What is Nomegestrol Arrow used for?+
Nomegestrol Arrow is a progestin‑only oral product indicated for hormonal contraception, the treatment of menstrual irregularities such as heavy or unpredictable bleeding, and as part of hormone replacement therapy in post‑menopausal women to provide progestogenic support.
How does nomegestrol acetate work?+
Nomegestrol acetate acts as a selective agonist at progesterone receptors. It suppresses the mid‑cycle luteinizing hormone surge, preventing ovulation, thickens cervical mucus to impede sperm passage, and induces endometrial changes that make implantation unlikely.
What is the usual dose of Nomegestrol Arrow?+
The exact dosage regimen is determined by the prescribing clinician based on the therapeutic indication and patient characteristics. Typically, the product is taken once daily, but the prescriber will provide the specific instructions.
Is Nomegestrol Arrow safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Nomegestrol Arrow is not intended for use during pregnancy and should be discontinued if pregnancy occurs. Safety data for breastfeeding are limited; therefore, it is generally avoided while nursing unless the benefits outweigh potential risks as assessed by a healthcare professional.
How do I order Nomegestrol Arrow from GNH USA?+
To place an order, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnh-usa.com, specifying the required quantity. GNH USA works with hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details and any necessary import documentation.
How does Nomegestrol Arrow compare with other progestin‑only contraceptives?+
Compared with older progestin‑only pills, nomegestrol acetate offers a more selective receptor profile, which may result in fewer menstrual disturbances and a lower impact on lipid metabolism. However, clinical choice depends on individual risk factors, tolerability, and physician preference.
How should Nomegestrol Arrow be stored and handled?+
Store the tablets at ambient temperature, preferably below 25 °C, in the original blister pack or container. Protect them from excess moisture, direct sunlight, and humidity to maintain potency throughout the shelf life.
How is Nomegestrol Arrow administered?+
Nomegestrol Arrow is taken orally, usually with or without food, once each day at the same time to maintain consistent hormone levels. Swallow the tablet whole; do not split, crush, or chew unless directed by a healthcare provider.
What are the most serious risks to watch for while using Nomegestrol Arrow?+
Serious risks include venous thromboembolism, severe allergic reactions, liver dysfunction, significant hypertension, and mood disorders such as depression. Patients should seek immediate medical attention if they experience symptoms like unexplained swelling, severe abdominal pain, jaundice, or sudden mood changes.
Who should not use Nomegestrol Arrow?+
Contraindications include women with a known or suspected pregnancy, active or past thromboembolic disease, severe liver disease, uncontrolled hypertension, and known hypersensitivity to nomegestrol acetate or any tablet excipients.
