Norethisterone tablets, sold under the brand name Utovlan, are a synthetic version of the hormone progesterone, used to regulate periods. Norethisterone tablets act as a supplement to progesterone, keeping levels high so that the uterine wall does not shed as it does in a usual period, and will so prevent bleeding.

When to Take Norethisterone Tablets?

Norethisterone is a popular treatment for both delaying a period and treating heavy periods:

• Delaying A Period: If you're going on holiday or need to delay a period for any other reason, you may be able to take Norethisterone. Your period will usually begin two to three days after you stop using the tablets.
• Heavy Periods: Individuals with heavy periods can also benefit from using Norethisterone tablets. This can be one-off bleeding or for people who experience frequent heavy bleeding during their menstrual cycles.
• Endometriosis: Endometriosis is a condition that causes painful periods and heavy bleeding. Norethisterone tablets can reduce your symptoms.

Norethisterone Tablets Age Restrictions

Norethisterone tablets are mostly safe for adults between 18 and 50. However, anyone of menstrual age can take it, as long as a GP or registered pharmacist says it's safe to do so.

If you're over 50, you'll need an in-depth consultation to determine whether the treatment is right for you.

How to Take Norethisterone?

How you take Norethisterone tablets depends on what you're using them for, as the instructions differ.

Norethisterone to Delay Periods

Most people will take one 5mg tablet three times daily. It's essential to begin taking the tablets three days before your period is due, as it gives them time to work and stop your menstrual cycle.

You can continue the dose for up to 20 days. Once you stop taking it, your period will usually begin within two to three days.

Heavy Bleeding

If you use Norethisterone for heavy bleeding, you'll probably take one 5mg tablet three times daily. Some people use it only once, but you can use it each month if you have heavy periods.

You'll usually start the medication on a certain day of your cycle, then continue to take it for around 8 to 12 days.

Your GP or pharmacist will assess your menstrual cycle and let you know which day to begin taking it.

Endometriosis

Individuals with endometriosis will take 15mg of Norethisterone daily - often broken up into three 5mg doses.

The initial treatment period is six months; after that, your GP will assess whether it's achieving the desired outcome.

When to Avoid Using Norethisterone?

Norethisterone isn't suitable for everyone, and there are some situations where you should avoid taking it. These include:

• Pregnancy: Taking Norethisterone when you're pregnant can harm the baby. You should also avoid using it if you're trying to conceive.
• Blood Clots: If you have a history of blood clots or are at high risk of them, due to Deep Vein Thrombosis, Norethisterone isn't suitable for you.

Precautions for Norethisterone

• High BMI: People who are classed as obese also have a higher risk of blood clots.
• Smoking: If you're over 35 and smoke, you're more at risk of blood clots with hormonal medication.
