Nortisterone Injection Medication Information Noratindron
Nortisterone is a progestogen that is a female sex hormone similar to progesterone and is an effective form of short-term prevention. Injecting nortisterone for eight weeks will help prevent pregnancy.
Nortisterone mainly works by stopping ovulation (release of an egg from the ovary). It also changes the shape of the uterus to prevent the egg from attaching to it. In addition, by injecting this drug, the mucus that makes up your cervix becomes thicker, which prevents sperm from entering the uterus and fertilizing with an egg.
See the relevant page for more information on Nortisterone pills used for contraception.
