Pharmacology

Norethisterone is a progestational drug with actions similar to Progesterone, but it is a more potent inhibitor of ovulation. It also possesses weak estrogenic and androgenic properties. It is absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract, and its effects last for at least 24 hours.

Dosage & Administration

This drug is for oral administration and is not intended for use in children.

• Previous or existing liver tumours.

• History of idiopathic jaundice, severe pruritus, or herpes gestationis during pregnancy.

• Current thromboembolic processes (blood clots).

• Hypersensitivity to Norethisterone or any other excipient.

Reasons to Stop Immediately

Discontinue Menogia and seek immediate medical attention if any of the following occur:

• New onset of migrainous headaches or unusually severe, frequent headaches.

• Sudden perceptual disorders (e.g., vision or hearing disturbances).

• First signs of thrombophlebitis or thromboembolic symptoms (e.g., pain and tightness in the chest).

Precautions & Warnings

• Thromboembolic Risk: Although Menogia does not contain estrogen, the possibility of an increased risk of blood clots (venous/arterial thromboembolism) should be kept in mind, particularly with a history of thromboembolic disease, severe diabetes with vascular changes, or sickle-cell anaemia.

• Liver Tumours: In rare cases, liver tumours (benign or malignant) have been observed. Severe upper abdominal pain or signs of intra-abdominal bleeding require immediate investigation.

• Diabetes: Norethisterone can influence carbohydrate metabolism. Diabetics must have their carbohydrate metabolism parameters carefully examined before and regularly during treatment.
