Utovlan drug interactions

If you have a known allergy to synthetic progestogens, like Norethisterone, do not take the 5mg tablets. In addition, if you are pregnant, or might be pregnant, or are trying to get pregnant, then you should consult your GP. The same goes for breastfeeding.

As some medications may interact in a negative manner with Utovlan, you should tell your doctor if you are taking:

● Medicines for treating epilepsy

How effective is Utovlan?

Taking Utovlan keeps the lining of the womb in place to help delay your period, but as with any medication, it will work more effectively for some women than others, but generally, it is considered by doctors to be a very effective method for delaying menstruation.

You will then continue without your period until you stop taking your Utovlan 5mg, after which your period should begin again.

How does Utovlan work?

Each month, as long as a woman is not pregnant, the level of a hormone known as progesterone lowers, which triggers a reaction causing the womb to shed. This is experienced as the monthly period. If this hormone progesterone does not decrease, such as in the case of pregnancy or when a synthetic form of female hormone progesterone is administered into the body via a medication including Utovlan 5mg tablets, the body does not trigger a period. Therefore, when a woman uses Utovlan, she can safely delay the menstruation period for up to 14 days.

What is contained in Utovlan?

The active ingredient in Utovlan 5mg is norethisterone.

The inactive ingredients are lactose monohydrate, maize starch, polyvidone and magnesium stearate.

Alternatives for Utovlan

Besides taking Norethisterone, the alternatives to Utovlan to delay your period are Provera or a combination of contraceptive pills
