How Long Should Norethisterone Be Taken For The Treatment Of Ovarian Cyst?
Hello, I currently have an ovarian cyst on my right ovary and have been prescribed norethisterone 10mg tab to get my period so that the cyst can begin to get smaller and eventually disappear. My doctor said that my period will come about a week after I start taking the pill but I took my first one this morning at 9:35 and its been less than 3 hours and I have already gotten my period. Do I continue using the pills?

Hi
Thanks for positng your query on HCM
I have read and understood your concern
Since the reason for which you were prescribed this drug was for you to have your menses, i will advise you stop and see your Doctor for evaluation since menses have started flowing.Continuing with the drug may rather stop period.Just see your Doctor for evaluation.
Hope this will help.You maywrite back if more concerns
Wish you good health
