Norethisterone is a synthetic progestin hormone commonly prescribed for menstrual cycle regulation. It works by adjusting hormone levels to delay menstruation, reduce heavy bleeding, and manage irregular or painful periods. Doctors also prescribe it for conditions like dysfunctional uterine bleeding, endometriosis-related symptoms, and certain hormonal imbalances. It must be taken exactly as advised, especially for delaying periods or treating bleeding problems.
