About Noree-5 Tab

Noree-5 Tab belongs to the class of medicines called progestogens used to treat heavy, painful, or irregular periods, premenstrual syndrome (PMS), and endometriosis. Additionally, Noree-5 Tab may be used in the treatment of breast cancer. Endometriosis is a disorder in which the uterus's tissue lining (endometrium) grows on the ovaries, bowel, or tissues lining the pelvis. The most common symptom is pelvic pain.

Noree-5 Tab contains Norethisterone that works by mimicking the activity of the natural hormone progesterone. Thereby, it restores hormone levels in the body and regulates the growth and shedding of the womb lining. Thus, it helps to treat menstrual disorders.

Take Noree-5 Tab as prescribed by your doctor. You are advised to take Noree-5 Tab for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you based on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience unusual vaginal bleeding or spotting, dizziness, dry mouth, constipation, nausea, diarrhoea, headache, breast pain, and tenderness. Most of these side effects of Noree-5 Tab do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

If you are allergic to Noree-5 Tab or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. Noree-5 Tab is not recommended for pregnant women as it may harm the unborn baby. If you are breastfeeding, consult a doctor before taking Noree-5 Tab . It is advised to use effective non-hormonal contraceptives such as condoms to avoid pregnancy while taking Noree-5 Tab .

Uses of Noree-5 Tab

•Management of Endometriosis: Noree-5 Tab is also effective in managing endometriosis, a condition where uterine-like tissue grows outside the uterus, leading to pain and irregular bleeding.
•Support in Hormone Replacement Therapy: In postmenopausal women, Noree-5 Tab is often combined with estrogen therapy to prevent endometrial hyperplasia (thickening of the uterine lining), which can result from estrogen use alone.
•Relieve Menstrual problems: Noree-5 Tab is sometimes prescribed to alleviate symptoms of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and to provide relief from excessive bleeding or pain during menstruation.
