Why is Aygestin prescribed?

Aygestin (Norethindrone) is used to treat women with abnormal uterine bleeding. It is also prescribed for women who have not had their menstrual periods for several months (amenorrhea) but are not pregnant or menopausal. Additionally, it helps manage endometriosis, a condition where tissue that typically lines the inside of the uterus grows outside it in the pelvic or abdominal area, causing painful or irregular periods. Norethindrone is a form of hormone (progestin) that mimics the naturally occurring hormone progesterone in the body.

What does it do?

This medication works by inhibiting the usual growth of the uterine lining during the menstrual cycle and triggering hormonal changes in the uterus to help restore regular menstrual periods. It should not be used to test for pregnancy. Progestins are not effective in preventing miscarriages.

How should I take it?

Take this medication orally once a day, with or without food. Follow the instructions on the prescription label and take it at the same time every day. Do not take more of the medication than directed.

What if I missed a dose?

If you miss a dose, take it as soon as possible. However, if it's nearly time for your next dose, just take that dose. Do not double dose.

What are the special precautions before taking Aygestin?

Inform your doctor about all the medications you are taking, your current and previous medical history and if you suspect you might be pregnant, stop taking Aygestin (Norethindrone) immediately and contact your healthcare provider.
