Hi

Norethisterone is a synthetic form of progestin and has similar effects to female hormone progesterone which is used to treat heavy periods, painful periods, irregular periods, endometriosis, breast cancer etc. Side effects of norethisterone are irregular menstrual periods, stomach pain, enlargement of breasts, aches, facial hair growth, headaches, weight gain, dizziness, fainting, blurred vision, difficulty in breathing, difficulty in swallowing, chest pain, allergic reactions, nausea, vomiting etc.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
