Aygestin (Norethindrone) is a medication commonly prescribed to treat a variety of gynecological conditions. It is used to treat endometriosis, amenorrhea, abnormal uterine bleeding, and other medical issues related to the reproductive system.

Norethindrone belongs to a class of drugs called Progestin. It works by preventing the buildup of the uterine lining during the menstrual cycle and by inducing hormone changes in the uterus to restore normal menstrual periods. It acts primarily by preventing ovulation and thickening cervical mucus.

Aygestin is a medication used for birth control to prevent pregnancy. It is a synthetic form of the hormone progesterone, naturally produced by the body. It can be used alone or with other medications. Aygestin must not be used to test for pregnancy, as progestins are not effective in preventing miscarriages.

Norethindrone is a tablet taken orally by mouth, as prescribed by your doctor. You should take Aygestin with a full glass of water, and it should be taken with or without food to prevent stomach upset. Follow the dosing schedule and consult with your physician if you have any questions.

The dosage of Aygestin will depend on your medical condition and response to the treatment. It is taken once a day at the same time each day. For the treatment of stopped menstrual periods and abnormal bleeding from the uterus, Norethindrone is typically taken once daily for 5-10 days during the second half of the planned menstrual cycle or as prescribed by your doctor. Withdrawal bleeding is expected within 3-7 days after the medication ends.
