Common side effects may include changes in mood, breast tenderness, and spotting. Serious side effects are rare. It’s essential to discuss any concerns or existing medical conditions with our pharmacists before starting this medication.
Can Norethisterone be used for period delay on a regular basis?
Norethisterone is generally safe for occasional use to delay periods. However, it is not recommended for regular or continuous use without medical supervision. Consult with our pharmacists for personalized advice based on your specific needs.
What should I do if I miss a dose of Norethisterone during period delay?
