How Long Does Norethisterone Take To Show Effect?
Hello doctor.. I have been prescribed by my doctor to take norethisterone to start my period. Actually, I m taking this medicine to avoid pregnancy as I passed my period due date. I ve taken the medicine for 2 days but still no effect. What should I do?

Hello,
Norethisterone can be used to prevent pregnancy after a possible risky encounter. In your case, because your periods are already due, you will need to have a pregnancy test to rule out pregnancy.
If the test is negative you can repeat it in 2-3 days again and if it is negative again than it is sure you are not pregnant and your periods should come soon.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
