What Is Norethindrone Used For?

Norethindrone prescription medication, marketed under brand names such as Aygestin, Camila, Deblitane, Errin, Heather, Jencycla, Jolivette, Lyza, Nora-BE, Norlyda, Ortho Micronor and Sharobel, is a type of oral contraception (birth control medication) indicated for the prevention of pregnancy. Norethindrone medication is a progestin-only compound that works by changing the cervical mucus and endometrium, lowering FSH and LH levels, and suppressing ovulation in some women. Progestin-only pills are sometimes known as minipills or POPs as they have less progestin than combination birth control pills such as Ortho Tri-Cyclen. Norethindrone tablets are also used as part of the combination pills Junel Fe and Lo Loestrin Fe. Norethindrone medication may also have applications in treating symptoms of endometriosis.
