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.

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.
