INTRODUCTION
NOSTRA 5MG contains Norethisterone which belongs to the group of medicines called Hormonal Replacement Therapy. It is used to manage menstrual irregularities (such as heavy periods, painful periods and irregular periods) in females.
It can also be used to manage endometriosis (tissue growth outside the uterus), breast cancer and symptoms of pre-menstrual syndrome such as mood disturbances, headache and breast pain in women.
Before taking NOSTRA 5MG, inform your doctor if you have asthma, diabetes, hypertension, liver, kidney, or heart problems. You must also inform your doctor if you have unexplained vaginal bleeding, a history of repeated miscarriages, blood clot problems, migraine headaches or epilepsy before taking NOSTRA 5MG as a precaution.
NOSTRA 5MG is not recommended for use in pregnant women. Inform your doctor before taking NOSTRA 5MG if you are a woman who had repeated miscarriages or developed jaundice or excessive skin itching during their pregnancy.
NOSTRA 5MG is not a contraceptive (birth control pill), therefore it cannot prevent you from becoming pregnant. Women of childbearing potential must use a suitable contraceptive method to avoid pregnancy while taking NOSTRA 5MG.
The most common side effects of taking NOSTRA 5MG are dizziness, weight gain, nausea and vaginal bleeding. Consult your doctor if they trouble you. Also, inform your doctor immediately if you experience sudden chest pain, difficulty in breathing, severe headache, or severe pain and tenderness in your legs.

HOW NOSTRA 5MG WORKS
NOSTRA 5MG is a synthetic progestin which works by mimicking the effects of a naturally occurring female sex hormone called progesterone. This helps in regulating the growth and shedding of the womb which in turn reduces menstrual irregularities.
