Norethisterone

This belongs to the group of medicines known as progestogens.

Norethisterone can be used to treat premenstrual syndrome, painful periods, abnormal heavy bleeding, irregular periods, to postpone a period and menopausal syndrome (in combination with oestrogen).

Norethisterone works by modifying some of the effects of oestrogen.

It is also used in the treatment of endometriosis where tissue similar to the lining of the womb is present in other parts of the pelvis. This tissue is sensitive to cyclic changes and causes severe pain and painful menstruation.

Everything that Murray said is correct and I think I found the medical book he got it from.
Just like to add that it can also be used together with some forms of oestrogen only HRT to counterballance the oestrogen hormone.
