What is Heather
Norethisterone
The Generic name of this drug
Treatment Summary
Norethisterone, also called norethindrone, is a type of medication used to treat menstrual irregularities, endometriosis, and as a contraceptive. It is a synthetic hormone that mimics the action of the natural hormone progesterone, but is more potent. Norethisterone was first developed in 1951 in Mexico City and was initially used to treat menstrual issues. It wasn’t until 1962 that it was approved for use as an oral contraceptive.

Effectiveness
How Heather Affects Patients
Norethisterone is a type of pill taken by mouth that is used for birth control or to treat other hormone-related conditions such as menopause and endometriosis. It is a very powerful version of the hormone progesterone, and works by changing the way cervical and uterine cells function, and blocking hormones that control ovulation. Taking norethisterone or other types of combined oral contraceptives may increase the risk of breast cancer, so it is important to be aware of this risk and regularly do breast self-exams to look for signs of any developing lumps.
How Heather works in the body
Norethisterone is a progestin that works in many different parts of the body to help prevent pregnancy. It thickens the mucus in the cervix, making it harder for sperm to swim through. It also makes the endometrium inhospitable to implantation. It suppresses hormones like follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH), which stops ovulation and prevents the development of a corpus luteum. For menopausal women, norethisterone is used to protect against endometrial hyperplasia which can lead to endometrial cancer.
