Hi,
Yes. Norethisterone is a synthetic progesterone commonly prescribed for the treatment of adenomyosis of the uterus. It helps in decreasing the size of this benign tumor as well as the symptoms associated with it. Continue taking it as prescribed. Generally it is well tolerated by most of the women however its common side effects include headache, weight gain, breast tenderness and pimples.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
