What is Larin Fe 1.5/30
NorethisteroneThe Generic name of this drug
Treatment SummaryNorethisterone (also known as norethindrone) is a synthetic form of the hormone progestogen. This hormone is commonly prescribed to treat irregular menstrual periods, endometriosis, and used as part of contraception and hormone replacement therapy.

Effectiveness
How Larin Fe 1.5/30 Affects PatientsNorethisterone is a synthetic hormone taken either for contraception or to treat hormone-related conditions. It works similarly to the body's natural progesterone but is much more powerful. Norethisterone acts in the pelvis to change how the cervix and uterus work, as well as by blocking hormones that affect the development of eggs. There is a slight increase in the risk of breast cancer when using this medication, so it is important that patients be aware of this risk and do regular self-examinations.
How Larin Fe 1.5/30 works in the bodyNorethisterone is a hormone that affects the reproductive system. It thickens the cervical mucus to stop sperm from entering the uterus and thins the endometrium so a fertilized egg cannot implant. Norethisterone also works to decrease the hormones that cause an egg to be released from an ovary. This helps to prevent pregnancy. Additionally, when used as part of hormone replacement therapy in menopausal women, norethisterone can protect against endometrial hyperplasia, which is linked to an increased risk of cancer. Norethisterone does not have a major effect on other steroid receptors like

Larin Fe 1.5/30 Reviews: What are patients saying about Larin Fe 1.5/30?
5Patient Review
10/20/2014 This medicine helped me to regulate my heavy periods, but I found that it also made me feel constantly tired, upset, and caused me to gain weight. I'm not sure if all the side effects are worth it.
5Patient Review
1/31/2017 I unfortunately experienced some negative side effects like rashes and headaches. My blood pressure also increased.
4.7Patient Review
1/25/2019 I switched to this treatment after my old one stopped being effective and I started having painful cycles again. So far, no negative side effects that I've noticed. The packaging could be better designed--the pills sometimes pop out too forcefully and it's easy to drop them.
4Patient Review
8/22/2019 I was pretty tired and felt nauseous the first week I took Larin Fe 1/20. However, I've been spotting on and off since then and it's a vast improvement from my natural period (which involved gushing and heavy flow). So overall, I'm pleased.
4Patient Review
8/22/2019 I was pretty tired and nauseous the first week I took Larin Fe 1/20, but it was worth it. I barely need a liner now when I'm on my period, which is such a huge improvement from before.
3.7Patient Review
9/29/2014 Though this medication has largely stopped my heavy bleeding, I still experience some spotting every day. Additionally, I have high blood pressure for which I take three separate medications. The only reaction that I know of so far from taking Larin FE is rashes. My right eye was blind for at least one minute. Then the right side of head hurts and my nostril. I don't know what caused this.

4/2/2015 Really didn't have any negative effects from this. Only good things to report!
3Patient Review
9/5/2022 I've been on this birth control for a month and it's helped with my period. I get migraines every day, but hopefully that will go away after a few more months.
