Description

Norethindrone acetate is a synthetic estrogen with progestational activity. It is used in combination with an estrogen to treat symptoms of menopause such as hot flashes and vaginal dryness, or in the prevention of endometriosis. Norethindrone acetate is also used in combination with progestin for contraception. It binds to estrogen receptors and produces similar effects to other estrogens, including inhibition of gonadotropin secretion, increased breast size, reduced risk of uterine cancer, and prevention of osteoporosis. The addition of norethisterone acetate provides the benefits of progestogen without the side effect of menstrual bleeding. Norethindrone acetate has been shown to increase serum prolactin levels in women and can cause breast tenderness or enlargement. This drug has been approved by the FDA as a treatment for bowel disease in women when given together with erythromycin. Norethindrone acetate
