Could I Take Norethistrone While Taking Lymecycline For Asthma?
Question: My daughter has been prescribed norethistrone to delay periods as we are going on holiday as she I'd due to start whilst away.
She has been diagnosed with asthma
Also taking lymecycline
Is it fine for her to take norethistrone
Brief Answer:
not a known contraindication
Detailed Answer:
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
There are no known interactions between lymecycline and norethisterone.Asthma is also not a contraindication for its use, though her doctor will keep it in mind because asthmatics have a greater risk of potential allergies even to medications.
Hormonal medication such as these are not recommended if there is a history of a clot disorder, migraines, epilepsy
Norethisterone is commonly used to delay periods.
It contains a hormone similar to the progesterone which is produced in the body.
To delay a period normally it is taken 5 mg , three times a day, 3 to 4 days before the period is due.
It can be taken for up to 2 weeks.
I hope this helps, feel free to ask any additional questions
