I took my last tablet Sunday evening. But still font have my period, how long do they take to get out of system , ?? I've just read that these tablets can affect unborn children and now worried I mite be pregnant?

Hi
welcome to health care magic,
Norethisterone is a progestin used to delay the period .
Its half life is 7hrs i.e half of it leaves the body by 7 hrs .
Norethisterone has been shown to decrease the growth of the baby in the womb,
hence it should not be taken during pregnancy.
Kindly consult your gynaecologist at the earliest if u have a doubt regarding
pregnancy
Hope you find this helpful
