- Menstrual disorders: regulates irregular cycles and reduces heavy bleeding. - Endometriosis: suppresses ectopic endometrial tissue growth and alleviates pain. - Primary dysmenorrhea: decreases menstrual pain by stabilizing the uterine lining. - Secondary amenorrhea: induces withdrawal bleeding in women with absent periods. - Hormonal contraception: prevents ovulation and creates an unfavorable endometrial environment for implantation.

Norethisterone may cause a range of adverse reactions, which are generally classified by frequency and severity.

Common Side Effects: - Nausea or vomiting - Breast tenderness - Headache - Mood changes - Weight gain - Spotting between periods

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism - Severe allergic reaction (anaphylaxis) - Liver dysfunction (jaundice, elevated enzymes) - Visual disturbances - Severe abdominal pain

Before prescribing Norethisterone, clinicians should evaluate patient history and risk factors.

- Contraindication: pregnancy – the drug is contraindicated in pregnant women. - Cardiovascular risk: avoid in patients with a history of thromboembolic disorders. - Liver disease: use with caution in severe hepatic impairment. - Smoking: advise women over 35 who smoke to avoid use. - Drug interactions: review concomitant medications for potential interactions. - Store at ambient temperature: keep below 25 °C, in the original packaging, protected from moisture and light.

Norethisterone can interact with several medicines, altering its efficacy or safety profile.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Anticoagulants (e.g., warfarin): may increase risk of thrombosis. - Strong enzyme inducers (e.g., rifampicin, carbamazepine): may reduce hormonal effectiveness. - Certain antiretrovirals (e.g., efavirenz): may lower plasma levels of norethisterone.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - Antifungals (e.g., ketoconazole): may increase plasma concentration. - Antidepressants (SSRIs): may affect bleeding risk. - Herbal supplements (St. John’s wort): may decrease effectiveness.
