Switch language Iconবাংলা

Introduction

Ethinor 5 is used to treat various menstrual problems including painful, heavy, or irregular periods, premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and a condition called endometriosis. It is a man-made version of the natural female sex hormone progesterone. Ethinor 5 may be taken with or without food, but it is better to take it at the same time each day. The dose and how often you take it depends on what you are taking it for. Your doctor will decide how much you need so as to improve your symptoms. Swallow the tablets whole with a drink of water. You should take this medicine for as long as it is prescribed to you. The most common side effects of this medicine include headache, nausea, abdominal pain, vaginal spotting, dizziness, and breast tenderness. Let your doctor know if these bother you or appear serious, as there may be ways of reducing or preventing them. Some side effects may mean you should stop taking this medicine, including if you develop jaundice, migraine or changes to your speech or senses (eyesight, hearing, smell, taste and touch). You should also stop taking it if you become pregnant or if your blood pressure becomes too high. Before taking this medicine, tell your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have diabetes, have a migraine, or any liver disease ever had any problems with your blood circulation. Your doctor should also know about all other medicines you are taking as many of these may make this medicine less effective or change the way it works. This medicine can affect the results of some blood and urine tests so make sure any doctor treating you knows that you are taking it.

How Ethinor 5 works

Ethinor 5 is a synthetic progestin. It works by mimicking the effects of natural progesterone (female hormone). It helps in regulating the growth and shedding of the womb lining, thereby treating menstrual irregularities.

Quick Tips

  • Ethinor 5 regulates menstrual cycles and treats a wide range of menstrual disorders such as heavy, painful periods and endometriosis.
  • It may cause bleeding or spotting in between menstrual periods. Let your doctor know if this occurs frequently.
  • Stop taking Ethinor 5 and inform your doctor immediately if you get severe headaches, stabbing pains or swelling in one leg, pain while breathing, yellowing of your skin or sudden changes in your vision or hearing.
  • Do not take Ethinor 5 if you are pregnant. Use a non-hormonal method of contraception such as condoms to prevent pregnancy while you are taking this medication, as it is not a contraceptive.

Prevention of abnormal bleeding – 1 tablet twice a day from the 19th - 26th day of the cycle. Premenstrual Syndrome - 2 to 3 tablets a day from the 19th - 26th day of the cycle.

Contraindication

Severe hepatic dysfunction; undiagnosed vaginal bleeding; porphyria; pregnancy; previous idiopathic or current thromboembolism; thromboembolic disease; DVT.

Mode of Action

Norethisterone has typical effects of a progestogen and converts the endometrium from the proliferative to the secretory phase. It may also have some oestrogenic, anabolic and androgenic activities, but these may not be significant. Norethisterone delays onset of periods and controls abnormal uterine bleeding. It also has contraceptive effects due to negative feedback inhibition of pituitary gonadotropin thus preventing ovulation.

Precaution

Hypertension; CVS disease; hepatic impairment; epilepsy; lactation; new onset of migraine-type headache; asthma; renal impairment; history of clinical depression.

Side Effect

Mental depression, cholestatic jaundice, porphyria, epilepsy, migraine, headache, breast discomfort, dizziness, nausea and vomiting, changes in libido, appetite and weight, breakthrough bleeding, changes in menstrual flow, amenorrhoea, oedema, rash, melasma or cholasma, acne, urticaria, abnormal LFTs, moodswings, insomnia, thrombotic and thromoembolic events, optic neuritis, altered lipid profile.

Interaction

Concentration may be reduced by CYP450 inducers (e.g. phenobarbital, phenytoin, carbamazepine, rifampicin, rifabutin, nevirapine, efavirenz, tetracyclines, ampicillin, oxacillin, co-trimoxazole) and ritonavir, nelfinavir (usually inhibitors of CYP450 but have inducing properties when used with steroid hormones). May cause additive fluid retention with NSAIDs, vasodilators. Adjustment in antidiabetic, thyroid hormone and anticoagulant therapy may be required. Potentially Fatal: May increase ciclosporin concentration.
