Will Continuous Usage Of Norethisterone Cause Infertility?
I was prescribed northisterone to take on a cyclical basis. When it still didn t effect my irregular & heavy periods I was told to take it consistently. I did this for 2 yrs and stopped in 2009. I have only had 2 periods since then - can this drug cause infertility if taken without breaks?

Hi,
There is no documented evidence that continuous usage of norethisterone cause infertility. As per the studies done there is no impairment woman’s ability to get pregnant after taking norethisterone continuously without breaks.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
