Normens 5 is a synthetic progestin. It works by mimicking the effects of natural progesterone (female hormone). It helps in regulating the growth and shedding of the womb lining, thereby treating menstrual irregularities.
Quick Tips
  • Normens 5 regulates menstrual cycles and treats a wide range of menstrual disorders such as heavy, painful periods and endometriosis.
  • It may cause bleeding or spotting in between menstrual periods. Let your doctor know if this occurs frequently.
  • Stop taking Normens 5 and inform your doctor immediately if you get severe headaches, stabbing pains or swelling in one leg, pain while breathing, yellowing of your skin or sudden changes in your vision or hearing.
  • Do not take Normens 5 if you are pregnant. Use a non-hormonal method of contraception such as condoms to prevent pregnancy while you are taking this medication, as it is not a contraceptive.

Contraindication
Severe hepatic dysfunction; undiagnosed vaginal bleeding; porphyria; pregnancy; previous idiopathic or current thromboembolism; thromboembolic disease; DVT.
Mode of Action
Norethisterone has typical effects of a progestogen and converts the endometrium from the proliferative to the secretory phase. It may also have some oestrogenic, anabolic and androgenic activities, but these may not be significant. Norethisterone delays onset of periods and controls abnormal uterine bleeding. It also has contraceptive effects due to negative feedback inhibition of pituitary gonadotropin thus preventing ovulation.
Precaution
Hypertension; CVS disease; hepatic impairment; epilepsy; lactation; new onset of migraine-type headache; asthma; renal impairment; history of clinical depression.
Side Effect
Mental depression, cholestatic jaundice, porphyria, epilepsy, migraine, headache, breast discomfort, dizziness, nausea and vomiting, changes in libido, appetite and weight, breakthrough bleeding, changes in menstrual flow, amenorrhoea, oedema, rash, melasma or cholasma, acne, urticaria, abnormal LFTs, moodswings, insomnia, thrombotic and thromoembolic events, optic neuritis, altered lipid profile.
Interaction

May cause additive fluid retention with NSAIDs, vasodilators. Adjustment in antidiabetic, thyroid hormone and anticoagulant therapy may be required. Potentially Fatal: May increase ciclosporin concentration.
