Does Norethisterone Cause Pain And Diarrhea?
I have been prescribed and taking norethisterone for heavy bleeding. I have had a lot of side effects I believe are related. This is the second month I have taken it and from stopping on 8th day, I have had pain and diarhea...is it related to the tablets?

Hi,
Norethisterone is unlikely to cause pain and diarrhea. Norethisterone is commonly prescribed to treat menstrual abnormalities, to delay the periods and other conditions.
Its common side effects include nausea, headache, breakthrough bleeding, and irregular periods.
There is no documented evidence of abdominal pain and diarrhea caused by norethisterone.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Mohammed Taher Ali, General & Family Physician
