Additional Information for Norethindrone And Mestranol Tablets
Norethindrone and Mestranol Tablets are a combination of two hormones, norethindrone and mestranol, that are used as a form of oral contraception. They are commonly known as birth control pills or oral contraceptives.
Norethindrone is a synthetic form of progesterone, a hormone that helps regulate the menstrual cycle and prevent pregnancy. Mestranol is a synthetic form of estrogen, another hormone that plays a role in the menstrual cycle.
These tablets work by preventing ovulation, the release of an egg from the ovaries, and by making the cervical mucus thicker, which makes it harder for sperm to reach the egg. They also thin the lining of the uterus, making it less receptive to implantation of a fertilized egg.
Norethindrone and Mestranol Tablets are typically taken once a day, at the same time each day, for 21 days followed by a 7-day break. During the 7-day break, a withdrawal bleed similar to a menstrual period occurs.
It is important to note that Norethindrone and Mestranol Tablets do not protect against sexually transmitted infections (STIs). They are solely intended for pregnancy prevention.
As for the supply class and group, Norethindrone and Mestranol Tablets fall under the supply class "Drugs And Biologicals" and the supply group "Medical, Dental, And Veterinary Equipment And Supplies." This classification is used to categorize and manage the supply and distribution of various medical products and equipment.
