Regestrone 5 MG Description
Regestrone 5 mg tablets are a hormonal medication used to treat menstrual and gynecological disorders caused by hormone imbalances. They contain norethisterone, a synthetic form of progesterone, which helps regulate hormone levels and normalize menstrual cycles. It's crucial to follow your doctor's instructions regarding dosage and duration of treatment, perform regular breast self-exams, and take precautions against sun exposure, as photosensitivity may occur. Inform your doctor about all medications, supplements, and medical conditions before starting Regestrone 5 mg tablets, especially if you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy, or breastfeeding.
Primolut N, Sysron N, Prevent N, Norlut N and Gynast are some other medicines containing norethisterone as the main ingredient.
