Hormonal drugs Norkolut - negative reviews. Neutral. Positive. + Leave a review Negative reviews Lyusya http://www.woman.ru/health/diets/thread/4270007/ Girls, girls! The fact that you read the word NORCOLUT incorrectly is not a problem. The trouble is when you are prescribed to drink it 3 years (after surgery to maintain the function of the only ovary, because the rest was amputated, and the uterus too, as a result of an endometriosis cyst). I gained 30 kg, no, not immediately, but gradually over 17 years, and I just can’t lose it weight. It just creeps up. I drank 2 times a day, as the doctor prescribed, and then, not 3 years, but only 1.5. Because I was afraid that I wouldn’t fit through the door. I managed to give birth to two children well. But I’m for I didn’t gain that much weight during my pregnancy, I was about to give birth and I weighed 68-70 kg. So, girls, be attentive to your health. Any medications affect the body (especially women) differently. And even if the doctor prescribed it, you need to take them with caution, because we, each of us, are so individual.... Be healthy! Anna https://med-otzyv.ru/lekarstva/156-n/28287-norkolut#scomment-339066 I had a terrible allergic reaction to Norkolut, my whole body was covered in a small itchy rash. It’s a pity, because the gynecologist said that it is almost the only remedy that truly treats endometriosis and normalizes the cycle. Zhanna https://www.medcentre.com.ua/norkolut.html Norkolut was prescribed to me when I finished feeding the baby. But I couldn’t wean the baby off the breast at once; I had to feed him at night and sometimes to calm my soul during the day. Therefore, I decided not to accept it. But my friend kept drinking Norkolut, she says she started to get better from it :( Lusia-2002 https://otzovik.com/review_6338968.html Advantages: Didn’t see Disadvantages: Weight gain, oily hair, acne all over the body, swelling of the legs, infirmity The doctor prescribed it after the removal of a polyp and enlargement of the endometrium. I took 2 times a day with 5 d.c. for 20 days. Many side effects: constant fat - as a result of +2 kg per month, terrible acne all over the body, head and face, not going away .. Oily hair - you have to wash it every other day and then it’s already too late and mood swings - at the beginning barely noticeable, by the end of the treatment they are pronounced - I’m crying out of nowhere, depression and constantly want to sleep, I feel sick. The doctor said that in the next month you can switch on COC evgenia ivanova https://otzovik.com/review_4416637.html Advantages: None for me Disadvantages: Contraindications, side effects, price Hello dear friends and guests of the Otzovik website! I came across the drug Norkolut after I decided wean the baby from the breast. Just at that time I was seeing a doctor and he advised me to take this drug. The doctor himself personally wrote out the regimen according to which I needed to drink Norkolut. I don't remember this diagram exactly. But, the drug Nodo had to be taken for a week. On the first day I had to take four tablets, on the second day three, then two and then one tablet a day. That's about it! I drank Norkolut for two days. In the evening of the second day, after taking the drug, I felt sick, dizzy and nauseous. So I stopped taking the drug. Norkolut is a hormonal drug. Contains the hormone norethisterone. The drug is used to treat hormonal imbalance in a woman’s body, for contraception, and so on. Norkolut has many contraindications and side effects. The package contains two blisters, 10 tablets each. Available in pharmacies only with a doctor's prescription. But no one asked me for the recipe. The price category is average. I bought tablets for 165 hryvnia per pack. The drug did not work for me! I just wasted my money in vain. And I can’t recommend it to you!!! Thank you for reading my review! PomashkaP https://irecommend.ru/content/norkolut-mne-tozhe-ne-drug I have had endometriosis for many years, which causes severe pain, and hysteroscopy revealed endometrial polyps. Besides, during my period it pours like buckets that I simply don’t go further than the bed and toilet. Over the years I tried different hormones and felt much worse on them than without them. Hormones did not cure anything for me, and some even made it worse. But then the gynecologist suggested trying Norkolut from days 14 to 25 of the cycle. Well, as always, everyone seems to tolerate it well………yeah…..but not me. What should I do, I agreed, it’s not expensive, 130 rubles per pack, it’s not Visanne for 3,000 rubles. But according to the doctor, it is very effective. Side effects (special effects) while taking Norkolut: 1. Severe headache and complete stupor - I felt this already on the second day of taking Norkolut. Further, as if in a fog, I had trouble understanding what they were saying to me, what they were talking about, I couldn’t read anything, the whiskey was pressing so hard that I could hang myself. It was as if water had been poured into my head. 2. I started itching and my nose was stuffy. Taking Norkolut lasted 5 days, then I quit it. Friendship with Norkolut did not work out either. But within a day, clarity of mind came and my head became bright. Well, then my periods came, heavy ones. I decided to go for an ultrasound after my period, since I had quit Norkolut earlier and my period, accordingly, came earlier, resulting in only 3 follicles in two ovaries. This is very little. Although, I usually have 4-5 follicles in each ovary. Hmm... strange... It seems to me that I have already tried all the hormones to “treat” endometriosis, but when I stop taking them, they make me feel even worse, the pain intensifies - this is another significant side effect. I am sincerely happy for the girls who take hormones so easily and react normally to them. Reading reviews like this makes me feel like I'm from another planet. They also say that all organisms are the same...this is unlikely. Who is interested in my experience of using other hormones, please read, perhaps these reviews will help you make a decision: Zoely - a new modern contraceptive "Almighty" VISANN Lindinet-20 (that's what I started with) JANINE for all troubles (more precisely, FOR ALL TROUBLES) Alexandra Kolyadina https://irecommend.ru/content/ni-za-chto-ne-peite-etot-preparat After I bought a trip to the sea, my cycle went wrong and the next menstrual period fell exactly on the vacation dates, on 70% of the time there. In this regard, I went to the gynecologist, who prescribed me the drug Norkolut to shift my menstrual cycle. I took the drug for 10 days, I achieved the desired result - menstruation did not start. BUT!!! In 5 days I gained 3 kg!! Considering that over the course of a year my weight fluctuates plus/minus 1 kg, this is sooo much for me!!! I am swollen and water is difficult to leave my body. The clothes have become very sticky, and some are even too small!! Now I have to go on a diet to lose these pounds, but it’s terribly difficult. No way, no way, ever will I take drugs like this again. Even after stopping taking the pills, the wild (there’s no other word for it!!!) appetite did not go away. Think hard about how much benefit Norkolut will bring and how much harm. In my case, it only brought harm. Neutral reviews Nastya http://razuznai.ru/norkolut.html#comment-28508 I took the course from days 16 to 25 of the cycle. I first read the forums where they write about crazy weight gain, I was very scared, but I began to accept it. I monitored what I eat and how often I eat very carefully. I didn’t gain a single kg, I even lost a little weight. Even the doctor who prescribed them told me that hormones can only increase appetite, but not gain weight. So if you control your diet, everything will be ok. Nadezhda https://lekotzyvy.com/review.php?id=2335 Norkolut helped me cope with cystosis, but I would not recommend these pills to anyone. In general, initially, during the diagnosis, I was prescribed Primolut, but it turned out that at that time it was not in our pharmacies, and with such a disease it is impossible to wait. I had to replace Primolut with Norkolut, which was then commercially available, which has a large “bouquet” of side effects. Its only and most important advantage is that it really helped, and I was able to cope with the cyst without surgery. The disadvantages include weakness, fatigue, a face covered with acne (this is at 30 years old). I also gained extra weight after taking the medicine. Alena https://lekotzyvy.com/review.php?id=2287 I was terribly afraid of hormonal drugs, but I had to take Norkolut, because I had no strength left to endure this PMS - both physically and mentally, it drove me crazy heat. They did tests, and I have terribly high estrogen, it is its excess that leads to this condition. The gynecologist prescribed Norkolut to me - it contains a synthetic analogue of the hormone progesterone, it is designed to reduce it in case of increased estrogen. I took it as written, the same in the instructions - from days 16 to 25, 2 tablets. But the dose is individual, and without a doctor and tests it will not be possible to determine it. I think I was prescribed so much because my estrogen levels were very high. First I’ll talk about the side effects. The hormone progesterone itself prepares the body for pregnancy and is released during ovulation, which means it makes you automatically want to eat more in order to provide the fetus with nutrients. Hence, the appetite is terribly strong, and no matter how much you go to the gym, you don’t lose weight - the hormone does not allow fat to be broken down, protects it, so to speak. So I drank for two months, gained 6.3 kg - be prepared. Secondly, alas, hysteria and irritability have not gone away, they have only intensified, I don’t know why. And thirdly, I constantly wanted to sleep, I was very apathetic and lethargic - this is how progesterone acts on the body, there is no escape from it. About the benefits. I drank for 2 months, but the problem could not be solved. There was a temporary effect - physical problems such as swelling, chest pain, engorgement of the nipples, joint pain, heaviness in the abdomen, and body aches were perfectly eliminated by the drug. I took tests - estrogen and progesterone are in the correct ratio. But as soon as I stopped taking the drug, alas, the problems immediately returned. It turns out that you need to drink it constantly. But here I am at a loss - the side effects are very unpleasant, I wouldn’t want to suffer so much for the sake of a temporary effect. svet2005 https://cosmoreviews.club/forum/showtopic/137-norkolut-otzyvy-zhenschin-posle-40-let/findpost-601 Hormones, they always remain hormones. You can't expect anything particularly good from them. I’m 47 and my hormones are jumping like crazy. The doctor recommended this drug. The cycle really improved, but my stomach started to hurt a lot, so I quit. And my friend drank it, she says it’s normal, no unpleasant sensations. Everything is individual. If you feel discomfort, it is better to stop and replace it, with your doctor, with something more suitable. Nika5 https://otzovik.com/review_4838244.html Advantages: price Disadvantages: weight gain I encountered this drug for the first time in 1998. I had a big delay. MC was called for me. Everything worked great. And I never encountered him again. And in 2020, I was prescribed treatment with Norkolut. Based on the reviews, I was wary of him. They prescribed it for half a year from the 19th to the 25th day. I drank for 3 months. The first month everything is fine. The second MC is meager, but like clockwork. Third month, 5 drops and 1.5 days. Gained weight +5 kg in 3 months. marinabulaeva19 https://otzovik.com/review_1178307.html Advantages: 99% contraception Disadvantages: excess weight, skin condition worsens and you need to take Norkolut on time - a hormonal contraceptive, and this is not very good. If you choose only a contraceptive, then it is better to choose something that is not hormonal. Hormones disrupt our hormonal balance and can make your appearance worse, for example, excess weight. Therefore, for treatment purposes, it is possible only as prescribed by a doctor. And for contraception purposes, Pharmatex tablets are very good, not hormones, and used just before sexual intercourse. There is no need to rush around with pills and wonder if I took them today or forgot them. And the best thing is probably condoms, whatever one may say, these are all medications that treat one thing and have a negative effect on another. Marina Afanasyeva https://irecommend.ru/content/pomog-vyzvat-mesyachnye-pri-silnom-gormonalnom-sboe I’ll start with the fact that my menstrual cycle is sometimes very irregular. Sometimes I didn't even pay attention. But from February 2020, my periods stopped coming; they didn’t come until April 2020. I went for an ultrasound because I was worried about chest pain, nagging pain in the lower abdomen, swelling, my condition was very bad. In general, all the symptoms of PM, but no periods at all. The doctor looked at the ultrasound, but didn’t find anything. He referred me for hormones and prescribed me to take NORCOLUT tablets, 1 tablet in the morning and evening for 5 days. And this is how I felt during the intake - terrible gluttony, which you can’t control in any way, libido increased greatly, why I don’t know, it made me feel hot. After the cancellation I waited a long time, my period never came on the first day, it only came on the 10th day instead of 8. But there is a plus: the pain went away, maybe something got better that wasn’t visible on the ultrasound. And so, according to the results of a hormonal examination, my thyroid gland is to blame. So she has to be treated, but probably without Norkolut her period would not have come for a long time. Although there are many side effects, I still recommend it in such situations. And don’t delay the question like I did. Otherwise, it has a very bad effect on women's health. Grazhina https://irecommend.ru/content/ispravil-situatsiyu-no-zastavil-povolnovatsya At an appointment with a gynecologist about obtaining a certificate for work, I was asked about the regularity of my periods. I honestly said that the cycle is normal, and only in the summer in the heat there can be a delay of a month. I read somewhere that this happens when the climate changes. But the gynecologist prescribed the hormonal drug Norkolut to even out the cycle. Summer was just beginning, and my cycle was normal all summer. I stopped taking the pills and didn’t go to the gynecologist again. What upset me was the terrible track record of side effects. If you don’t read, then the pills are just like pills, but if you read the instructions, your hair will stand on end from the possible consequences. But I don’t understand Norkolut’s action plan. It is used for delays, for excessive bleeding, and for pregnancy. both as a contraceptive, and in case of threat of miscarriage, and for various diseases. Positive reviews EVGENIYA, the doctor prescribed this narcolut to me after histology, I have endometriosis. I drank the first term. I just found out on the forum that these are hormonal pills...))) (I just don’t trust a cheap doctor - he said it’s necessary, then it’s necessary!) I don’t know what I’m drinking, so there’s no effect of self-hypnosis that hormonal pills increase weight! I want to say that I had the opportunity to take them during fasting (of course, I have a pig’s appetite even without pills), but I feel fine and my weight has even decreased by half a kilo. They're crazy—with or without hormones! we will learn to control ourselves, no pills will control our body... I don’t know the result yet, but the feeling is satisfactory! Yana http://razuznai.ru/norkolut.html#comment-30244 Ultrasound showed that there was a cyst in the ovary, Norkolut was prescribed from the 17th to 27th day of the cycle, on the 28th day the “days” came as if on their own schedule, they began painlessly and instead of the usual 4 days, only two days. The condition during treatment was as always, did not worsen. I haven't gained a single gram of weight. I took two courses, an ultrasound showed that the cyst had shrunk. I have only good feedback. Guest http://www.woman.ru/health/diets/thread/4270007/ I don’t know about others, everything went fine for me. Norkolut was prescribed to restore my cycle after severe stress; in addition, I have multifollicular syndrome (something like polycystic disease, but not so bad). They prescribed me to take 2 tablets for the first 5 days; menstruation began on the 4th day after taking the last tablet. I didn’t gain weight, my health was and is satisfactory. Everything is very individual and, of course, it all depends on the doctor, what kind of diagnostician he is. Nicole https://lekotzyvy.com/review.php?id=2289 Either because of the change in weather, or because of excessive worries, but in the spring my cycle went wrong, or rather, my periods stopped altogether. I had to run to endocrinologists, gynecologists, neurologists, and do pelvic ultrasounds several times. Everything seemed to be in order. I remember ten years ago this happened to me and they prescribed me treatment with injections. And this time the gynecologist prescribed Norkolut in order to induce menstruation. And the drug helped me, although I only took it for about five days, taking a tablet before bed. To be honest, I liked the effect of Norkolut more than treatment with injections, which, on top of everything else, were very painful. Maria https://med-otzyv.ru/lekarstva/156-n/28287-norkolut#scomment-458719 I once took Norkolut to restore my cycle, it worked very well. At the age of 16, for some reason, there was a delay and they prescribed me to drink Norkolut for 10 days, they said that as soon as I finished, M would come right away. And so it was immediately after 10 days they recovered and since then they have always walked perfectly exactly every 28 days, without gaining weight) ePelania https: //otzovik.com/review_5609678.html Advantages: price, dealt with the problem 100% Disadvantages: none An ultrasound revealed 2 follicular cysts on both ovaries. I was able to get rid of them in just one cycle with the help of Norkolut. The gynecologist prescribed it to me on day 2 at a certain time period of the cycle. I didn’t find any side effects, if only there was drowsiness in the first days of taking it, and nothing else. mcnasty95 https://otzovik.com/review_2651678.html Advantages: Good protection, convenient to take, no need to wear an elastic band during sex. Disadvantages: Started to get better. I was always terribly afraid of hormonal contraceptives, I always thought that they made me gain weight, start growing hair, and so on. As soon as we started having an intimate life with a young man, we used condoms, for the first six months everything was fine, but after that a severe allergy began, there were terrible rashes and a strange smell on the labia and vagina. Of course, we stopped using condoms, but you can’t have sex without contraceptives, we tried a lot of contraceptives, but I tried these pills at my own risk, they protect well, now we have complete pleasure with the guy. But there are small disadvantages, I corrected a little, I don’t know if it is worth blaming the pills for this ... Ladylada https://irecomment.ru/content/otkroveniya-pokhudevshei-na-kgnemnogo-i-pouchenii-khudeyushchimbudeete -ere Undoi-May is kind Day, dear girls and women! If you looked at my review, then you are looking for information regarding the use of a strong hormonal drug Norcolut. I will immediately say that such funds simply cannot be recommended or not- it should be taken only in extreme cases, exclusively as prescribed by the doctor. If you have everything in order with a hormonal background, you can use it seriously with it. Judge for yourself, I have no menstruation for 3 years, and only thanks to taking this drug (within 2 cycles) they sharply appeared. But about everything in order ... (More in my small personal blog), first, my dear, I want to share with you my history of teenage stupidity, in order to call you in any case not to repeat my mistakes. I have long wanted to write a review of my history of weight loss, but the story will be very long, so for now I’ll briefly describe it here, because the Normolite consequence of this. So ... at 13 years, it turned into my head that I was too thick, and I need to lose weight. I hit the sport, which led to the opposite effect, I began to grow! In panic, I also began to regulate my diet, simultaneously increasing physical. loads. In this way, I gradually refused at all of sweet, fat, fried and flour, but I went to fruits (with which I still overdo it in earnest) and began to drink a lot of water. Step by step, for six months I dropped 15 kg. Even further, a year later, my weight decreased by 18 kg and already continued to inexorably decline without my effort. I came to the anorexia and my critical days disappeared. Then I also threw me into bulimia, I had to drink strong antidepressants because of this, but not the essence, the months completely left me for 3 years, until I entered the capital and got to the right gynecologist-endocrinologist (in my hometown In the afternoon, with the fire, such a specialist cannot be found). Although at first I nevertheless went to an ordinary gynecologist, she tried to introduce me a course of vitamins of cyclic intake, but 2 months of such treatment did not give exactly any result. I gave me tests for hormones, an examination, ultrasound, in general, was not so critical, simply The internal genital organs (uterus, ovaries, endometrium) were in the lower boundary of the size normal for the female body. In principle, under such conditions, some girls functions normally, but for me personally such data turned out to be critical. In general, they sent me to the gynecologist-endocrinologist. And again I came to not one, but to two specials. The first assigned me a course of divigel (also a hormonal drug, increases the endometrium) along with cyclic intake of vitamins. For the course (or 2, I don’t remember) nothing has changed, except that I began to gain weight from the divigel. Moreover, it is strange, the diet has not changed, physical. The loads also did not reduce - the puffed from air and water, the nightmare is simple. For the next technique, I got to another special, which completely changed my treatment. To begin with, she appointed me the course of the same divigel, but added the morkolut and vitamin E (100mg). Thus, in a month I continued to recover, and I suspect that it would not be displayed on the scales, but visually I directly felt the puffy before my eyes . This is a terrible sensation, but the next course was already a purely reception of Norkomolut and vitamin E, but already 200 m (the doctor claims that it enhances the action of the Norkolut). And about a miracle! - My first periods of menstruation came to me. So I rejoiced only at 11 years, when they came to me for the first time. Thus, they assigned me a reception of this very nogolut for a period of six months in such a frequency: from 16 to 24 days of the cycle, drink 1 tablet of morkoluta from 200 mg (or better 400 mg) of vitamin E. Walking a usual lifestyle. So to this day I am conducting this cycle of reception. Each time after taking the drugs, menstruation arrives on the 2nd-3rd day. True, once, when I was on vacation, I forgot about caution and during the reception cycle I drank 1 alcoholic cocktail. I had to skip the day of the Board of Normolut, and as a result of this, critical days did not appear again. So this is too serious a thing and all the rules indicated in the instructions must be strictly followed! Otherwise, the consequences are unpredictable. Of the obvious advantages of the drug, its low price, since hormonal drugs, especially new, very expensive thing. In conclusion, I will say, girls, take care of your female health! This is the most valuable thing you have. And if you are natural by nature, but at the same time you have excellent health and well-being, do not try to do something with it! These are you, and you are beautiful in your body, because you are unique. Be healthy, this is the most important and difficult in life! Svetlanavavodyevna https://irecommend.ru/content/poka-nravitsya-56 Good day to all of the day) So the time has come to write the next review. This time, my choice fell on a rather serious hormonal drug "Norkolut". I'll explain why. The story of my path to motherhood is quite sad. And this story is not finished yet. The path continues. And continues with significant losses for me. Unfortunately. And this path began 13 years ago with my happy marriage. I married the first and only man in my life. The child was planned immediately. But time passed, but the pregnancy did not occur. 2 years after the wedding, I turned to the district gynecologist. I passed the tests, passed an ultrasound. Verdict: Healthy. They advised to examine the husband. My husband rested for a long time, but I still forced him to take tests. Verdict: asthenothelatezoospermia. Thus, the reason for our failures in planning was determined. Andrologist appointed her husband vitamins, and after 3 months this analysis was normal. Yes exactly. 3 months and everything became good. But pregnancy never occurred. They began to dig deeper. I passed the laporoscopy, hysteroscopy. Verdict: Healthy. The doctor wanted to send to the ECO by compulsory medical insurance. But there was no diagnosis. Although, soon he appeared. They took me to the ambulance from work. There was an ovarian apoplexy, i.e. His gap. The reason is a cyst. And this cyst appeared for a reason. The fact is that I was prescribed a drug to stimulate ovulation. But, they were not appointed correctly. Forgot to add a trigger. The drug that makes the follicle burst after ripening. Two follicles burst, and one grew into a cyst. In the place of one of the bursting follicles, another cyst was formed, but not follicular, but a yellow body. I think that if you are looking for a review about the drug "Norkolut", then these terms are clear to you. The doctor who prescribed the drug for stimulation saw that I had 2 cysts on an ultrasound, but did not prescribe anything. Now, she will appoint me the morkolut then, maybe, there would be no bad and would not be! And so, they removed part of the ovary with these cysts. The adhesive process began after surgery (the peculiarity of the body). Due to my eternal starvation, acute intestinal obstruction and surgery occurred again. So, with the diagnosis of "adhesive process" I got to the ECO by compulsory medical insurance. And this time I was unlucky. It was not possible to get pregnant. So cysts have grown again. The doctor did not fad the ripened follicles. A hormonal failure occurred, bleeding opened. I got to the hospital again. A year has passed. In the summer of 2020, I was waiting for a new attempt by IVF in compulsory medical insurance and a new test. And again on the same rake. Several follicles were not faded, deciding that they were not ripe for stimulation. And they are ripe! And they were assimilated. And I became pregnant naturally in the IVF protocol. Yes, it happens. On time, on the 14th day after the transfer of embryos, I received a negative result of hCG. And after another 10 days, already positive. The hCG grew up and doubled according to the norms until one of the cysts decided to burst. Apomplex of the ovary occurred and almost all of it was removed. And I lost my pregnancy after surgery. I no longer believe the doctors. I will double -check everything. Especially that the ovarian cyst is swinging. I regularly go on an ultrasound and found out that they are often formed in me. Doctors do not prescribe anything. I began to look for information about drugs that could be absorbed by cysts. I tried Dufaston, Utrozhezta, and Prozhin. From Dufaston I had a daub. From the IPROSHNA and Utzhezhtan there were large delays. And 2 months ago, I found out about Norkolut. Advised on the forum. And so, but I don’t have to say that on the forums all nonsense is advised, and self -medication will not bring to good. I have not been treated with doctors to do good! I have nothing to lose. To receive morkolut, I have the following indications: - endometriosis - myoma - ovarian cysts. Therefore, she began to take at her own peril and risk. I do not agitate anyone to do this, but he came up to me. I accept from 16 to 25 days a cycle of 1 t. 2 p. Symptoms of PMS have gone. Although I read that for many, on the contrary, they are aggravated by Norkolut. “These days” begin without the Suma (a sign of endometriosis) and come 2 days after the cancellation, to the third. The follicular cyst has gone in one cycle, and in the next cycle there was ovulation! According to a happy coincidence, the drug came up to me. But this does not mean that it will suit you. I shake that I recommend the drug, but everyone decides. I wish everyone good health! Added after ultrasound. After taking 2 courses, they did not find a myomatous node of small sizes. Was since 2013 and disappeared!


Norkolut: how to take the drug

Method of administration and dose.

The effectiveness of Norkolut tablets may be reduced if the patient forgets to take the tablet as directed. The patient should take only the last missed tablet as soon as she remembers, and then continue taking the tablets at the usual time the next day.

Secondary amenorrhea

The doctor prescribes a drug containing estrogens (for example, for 14 days) before Norkolut is started. After this, take 1 tablet of Norkolut 1-2 times a day for 10 days. Withdrawal bleeding begins a few days after taking the last pill.

When a sufficient level of estrogen production is achieved, you can try to stop estrogen therapy and induce cyclic bleeding using 1 Norkolut tablet 2 times a day from the 16th to the 25th day of the cycle.

Endometriosis

Treatment should begin between the 1st and 5th day of the cycle using 1 tablet of Norkolut twice a day. If bleeding occurs, it is necessary to increase the dose and take 2 tablets of Norkolut twice a day. After bleeding has stopped, you can reduce the dose to the initial dose. The duration of treatment is at least 4-6 months. With continuous daily use of the drug, ovulation and menstruation are usually absent. After completion of hormonal therapy, withdrawal bleeding occurs.

Features of application.

To prevent pregnancy, it is necessary to use non-hormonal methods of contraception.

It is necessary to consult a doctor as soon as possible in the following cases:

  • any changes in health status, especially those indicated in these instructions;
  • chest compressions;
  • the need to use other medications;
  • prolonged immobilization or the need for surgery (in case of planned surgery at least 6 weeks before surgery);

  • Dubin-Johnson syndrome, Rotor syndrome, and jaundice or cases of severe itching during previous pregnancies.
  • Previous cases of pemphigoid in pregnancy (herpes of pregnancy).
  • Benign or malignant liver tumors currently or in the past.
  • Malignant tumors are dependent on the influence of sex hormones (for example, breast or genital organs), which are currently present or have been in the past.
  • Vaginal bleeding of unknown etiology.
  • Untreated endometrial hyperplasia.
  • Hypersensitivity to norethisterone or to any of the auxiliary components of the drug.

If any of the above conditions occur for the first time while taking the drug, you should immediately stop taking it and consult your doctor.

Adverse reactions.

Side effects most often occur in the first months after starting to take Norkolut.

Tumors

Isolated cases of benign liver tumors have been described, and even more rarely, cases of malignant tumors in patients who take hormonal substances included in Norkolut. In some cases, these tumors led to life-threatening intra-abdominal bleeding.

Instructions for use NORCOLUT®

Before starting treatment with norethisterone, it is necessary to conduct a medical examination, including measurement of blood pressure, assessment of the condition of the mammary glands, abdominal and pelvic organs, as well as cytological examination of the cervix.

Norethisterone therapy should be discontinued immediately in the following cases:

  • the development of migraine-type headaches or an increase in unusually severe headaches;
  • sudden disturbances of perception (for example, visual or hearing disturbances);
  • the first signs of thrombophlebitis or symptoms of thromboembolism, a feeling of pain and tightness in the chest;
  • 6 weeks before the planned surgical intervention, as well as in case of prolonged immobilization;
  • the occurrence of jaundice or deterioration of liver function, the development of an anicteric form of hepatitis, skin itching;
  • significant increase in blood pressure;
  • pregnancy.

If any of the following risk factors are present or occur during use of Norkolut®, an individual assessment of the risk/benefit ratio should be carried out before starting treatment or continuing to take the drug.

Vascular disorders

Based on the results of epidemiological studies, it was found that the use of oral estrogens/gestagens containing ovulation inhibitors is associated with an increase in the number of thromboembolic complications. Thus, one should keep in mind the possibility of their development, especially if there is a history of thromboembolic diseases.

If the patient experiences symptoms indicating the development of thromboembolic complications, you should immediately stop taking Norkolut®. The need for treatment should be reconsidered before continuing to use Norkolut®.

Well-established risk factors for venous thromboembolism (VTE) include:

  • episodes of VTE or a family history (VTE in a brother, sister or parent at a relatively young age);
  • age;
  • obesity;
  • SLE;
  • long-term immobilization;
  • extensive surgery;
  • severe injuries.

Patients with a history of VTE or thrombophilic disorders are at increased risk of developing VTE. Treatment with Norkolut® may increase this risk.

A personal or family history of episodes of thromboembolism or recurrent spontaneous abortion should be carefully examined to exclude a predisposition to thromboembolism.

Unless a thorough assessment of thrombophilic factors has been performed or anticoagulant treatment has been initiated, the use of progestins in such patients is contraindicated. In patients already taking anticoagulants, the risks and benefits of progestin therapy should be carefully weighed.

The risk of VTE may temporarily increase with prolonged immobilization, severe trauma, or major surgery. In all patients after major surgery, special attention should be paid to prophylactic measures to prevent VTE. If prolonged immobilization is expected during elective surgery, especially in abdominal or orthopedic surgery of the lower extremities, it is necessary to consider suspending progestin therapy 4-6 weeks before surgery. Treatment should not be resumed until the patient has fully recovered motor activity.

Hyperlipidemia

Women with hypertriglyceridemia or a family history of hypertriglyceridemia may be at increased risk of developing pancreatitis when taking combined oral contraceptives (COCs).

Women with hypertriglyceridemia have an increased risk of developing arterial lesions. However, there is no need for routine screening of all women taking COCs.

Neoplasms

In rare cases, benign tumors, and even more rarely, malignant liver tumors have been reported in individuals taking hormonal drugs similar to Norkolut.

In some cases, these neoplasms have led to life-threatening intra-abdominal bleeding. If there are complaints of pain in the upper abdomen, liver enlargement, or signs of intra-abdominal bleeding, a liver tumor should be excluded and the drug should be discontinued.

Other Cautions

Norethisterone may affect carbohydrate metabolism. The parameters of carbohydrate metabolism must be carefully monitored in all patients with diabetes mellitus before and during treatment.

Chloasma can sometimes develop, especially in women with a history of chloasma during pregnancy. Women prone to chloasma should minimize sun exposure and exposure to ultraviolet radiation during treatment with norethisterone.

Patients with a history of episodes of depression should be closely monitored. Treatment with Norkolut® should be discontinued if severe depression recurs.

In any case of acute visual impairment, exophthalmos, diplopia or migraine, papilledema or retinal damage should be excluded before continuing treatment with Norkolut®.

Progestins can cause fluid retention. When prescribing Norkolut®, special attention should be paid to patients with the following diseases:

  • epilepsy, migraine, asthma, heart disease, renal dysfunction.

Additional measures related to the partial metabolism of norethisterone to ethinyl estradiol

Following oral administration, norethisterone is partially metabolized to ethinyl estradiol at a dose equivalent to approximately 4-6 mcg ethinide estradiol per 1 mg oral norethisterone or norethisterone acetate. Due to the partial conversion of norethisterone to ethinyl estradiol, the use of Norkolut is expected to lead to similar pharmacological effects that occur with COCs. Therefore, the following should be taken into account:

    Arterial and venous thromboembolism

    Epidemiological studies have shown that the incidence of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in women taking low-estrogen oral contraceptives (<50 mcg ethinyl estradiol) is approximately 20-40 per 100,000 cases per year, but this risk estimate varies depending on the content gestagen. By comparison, in women who do not take oral contraceptives, the incidence is 5-10 per 100,000 cases per year. The use of any COC carries an increased risk of VTE compared to patients who do not use them. This risk is less than the risk of pregnancy-associated VTE, which is estimated to occur in 60 cases per 100,000 pregnancies. The highest risk of VTE exists during the first year of COC use or after a break in use for a minimum period of 1 month. VTE can be life-threatening or fatal (in 1-2% of cases).

    VTE in the form of deep vein thrombosis and/or pulmonary embolism can occur during the use of any COC. It is known that extremely rarely, when using COCs, thrombosis can occur in other blood vessels, for example, in the hepatic, mesenteric, renal, cerebral, as well as in the veins and arteries of the retina. There is no consensus as to whether the development of these complications is associated with the use of COCs.

    Common symptoms of VTE include:

    • severe pain in the calf muscle of one leg, swelling of the lower leg;
    • sudden shortness of breath, chest pain.

    The use of COCs may also increase the risk of diseases such as stroke and myocardial infarction, which are secondary arterial thromboembolic complications.

    Common symptoms of arterial thromboembolism include:

  • sudden severe chest pain, radiating or not radiating to the left arm;
  • sudden cough for no apparent reason;
  • any unusually strong, prolonged headache, especially when occurring for the first time. The condition gradually worsens or any of the following symptoms occur: sudden partial or complete loss of vision or double vision; aphasia; dizziness; collapse with or without attacks of focal epilepsy; weakness or severe sudden numbness of one side or one part of the body.

Risk factors for the development of thromboembolic complications:

  • age;
  • obesity (BMI >30 kg/m2);
  • indication in the family history of the presence of venous or arterial thromboembolism in a brother, sister or parent at a relatively young age (if a hereditary predisposition is known or suspected, the woman should seek specialist advice before deciding to use COCs);
  • prolonged immobilization, major surgery, any surgery on the lower extremities or major trauma (in these situations it is advisable to stop using the COC, in the case of elective surgery at least 4 weeks before it, and not to resume earlier than 2 weeks after full recovery);
  • smoking (the risk increases with smoking and with age, especially in women over 35 years of age);
  • dyslipoproteinemia;
  • arterial hypertension;
  • migraine (an increase in the frequency and severity of migraine attacks while taking COCs may be a harbinger of cerebrovascular accidents and, therefore, a reason for immediate cessation of taking COCs);
  • heart valve defects;
  • atrial fibrillation.

Other factors that cause circulatory disorders (diseases in which blood circulation is impaired):

  • diabetes mellitus, SLE, hemolytic-uremic syndrome, chronic inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn's disease/ulcerative colitis), sickle cell anemia.

Biochemical factors that may indicate a hereditary or acquired predisposition to venous or arterial thrombosis:

  • activated protein C resistance (APC), hyperhomocysteinemia, antithrombin III deficiency, protein C deficiency, protein S deficiency, antiphospholipid antibodies (anticardiolipin antibodies, lupus anticoagulant).

Cervical cancer

The most important risk factor for developing cervical cancer is persistent HPV infection. Some epidemiological studies have suggested that long-term use of COCs may further contribute to increased risk, but there is still uncertainty due to the presence of additional factors (eg, sexual behavior, including use of barrier contraceptives).

Mammary cancer

A meta-analysis of 54 epidemiological studies found that there is a slightly increased relative risk (OP=1.24) of breast cancer in women who currently use COCs.

The increased risk gradually disappears within 10 years after stopping COC use. Because breast cancer is rare in women under 40 years of age, the increased incidence of breast cancer in current and past COC users is small relative to the risk of breast cancer in the general population. These studies do not provide evidence of cause and effect. The observed pattern of increased risk of breast cancer may be due to earlier cancer diagnosis in women taking COCs, biological effects of COCs, or a combination of both. In people who have ever taken COCs, breast cancer is diagnosed at earlier stages than in those patients who have never taken COCs.

Other factors

Although small increases in blood pressure have been reported in many women taking COCs, clinically significant increases are rare. However, if persistent clinically significant arterial hypertension develops during the use of a COC, it is advisable to discontinue the COC and begin antihypertensive therapy. If necessary, taking COCs can be resumed if antihypertensive therapy allows you to achieve target blood pressure values.

There are reports that Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis may be associated with COC use.

Norkolut® contains lactose monohydrate. Patients with congenital galactose intolerance, lapp lactase deficiency or glucose-galactose malabsorption should not use the drug.

Impact on the ability to drive vehicles and operate machinery

Norethisterone does not affect the ability to drive vehicles or operate machinery.

Side effects

Before starting to use Norkolut, the patient must be examined for the presence of malignant neoplasms and have the mammary glands diagnosed.

Among the side effects of the tablets are:

  • headache;
  • nausea, vomiting;
  • thrombosis - with long-term use;
  • bleeding from the genital tract in the middle of the menstrual cycle;
  • allergic reactions in the form of skin rashes;
  • weight gain;
  • breast tension;
  • chronic fatigue.

To avoid the development of side effects, Norkolut should not be taken simultaneously with liver enzyme inducers, barbiturates, Rifampicin and other drugs that cause oxidation processes in the liver.

Effect of the drug Norkolut

As already mentioned, the active substance of Norkolut is norethisterone. This substance belongs to gestagens, but acts as androgens and estrogens. Of course, these properties are expressed to a lesser extent than in gestagens, which are produced by the body itself.

After detecting a hormonal imbalance (which often happens during pregnancy or menopause), the doctor immediately prescribes Norkolut for you. And the treatment begins.

After taking the pills, the medicine immediately enters the stomach and begins to break down. Thanks to starch and cellulose, Norkolut is instantly absorbed by the walls of the stomach and enters the blood, thereby normalizing the level of estrogen and androgens in the body.

The body immediately senses this. Menstruation is more gentle, pregnant women experience no pain in the lower abdomen, and menopause no longer brings constant mood swings. But that’s not all.

special instructions

It is not advisable to use hypoglycemic drugs, glucocorticosteroids, oral anticoagulants, as well as Cimetidine, Rifampicin and other drugs that affect microsomal liver enzymes with Norkolut.

Before starting therapy, the patient should undergo a complete and thorough examination of the mammary glands, as well as oncological and gynecological examinations to exclude possible oncological lesions.

If you accidentally miss another pill while taking Norkolut, the patient should take the missed dose of the drug as quickly as possible and use additional adequate methods of contraception.

Indications for use

According to the instructions for Norkolut, it is prescribed for treatment:

  • Uterine fibroids;
  • Mastodynia (pain in the mammary glands);
  • Endometriosis;
  • Endometrial hyperplasia (with cystic glandular changes);
  • Premenstrual syndrome;
  • Dysmenorrhea occurring with a decrease in the secretion phase;
  • Anovulatory metrorrhagia.

The drug is also used when carrying out a progesterone test, contraception, to prevent or stop lactation.
