Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
Utovlan (norethisterone) is a hormone supplement and after it is withdrawn, withdrawal bleeding occurs within a few days. That is what you are describing. It is absolutely normal.
In case of excessive cramping you can take Drotin M (drotaverine + mefenamic acid) as per requirement.
