The Generic name of this drug

Treatment Summary

Norethisterone (also known as norethindrone) is a synthetic hormone used in a variety of medical applications, such as contraception and hormone replacement therapy. It is more potent than natural progesterone and can be used to treat irregular periods and endometriosis. It was first developed in 1951 and was approved for use as an oral contraceptive in 1962.

Effectiveness

How Femcon Fe Affects Patients

Norethisterone is a type of medication taken orally that is used as a form of birth control or to treat conditions related to hormones, such as menopause and endometriosis. It works similarly to the hormone progesterone, but is much more potent. This drug affects the uterus and cervix, and also stops the body from making certain hormones. Taking norethisterone may increase a person's risk of developing breast cancer, so it is important to talk to a doctor about the risks and benefits of taking this medication. Additionally, regular self-examinations should be done to check for any lumps

How Femcon Fe works in the body

Norethisterone works by blocking sperm from entering the uterus and preventing implantation of a fertilized egg. It also reduces the amount of hormones released by the hypothalamus and pituitary gland, blocking ovulation and inhibiting the growth of the endometrium. When used as part of hormone replacement therapy in menopausal women, norethisterone's main purpose is to prevent endometrial hyperplasia, which is linked to an increased risk of endometrial cancer. Although it does have a low affinity for other steroid receptors, norethisterone may be responsible for some adverse effects such as acne and changes

Femcon Fe Reviews: What are patients saying about Femcon Fe?

Patient Review

Femcon Fe for Birth Control

Unfortunately, this pill made my acne worse. I had hoped it would help clear up hormonal breakouts, but it didn't do anything. My dermatologist has since told me that I have hormonal cysts, which are large and gross.

Femcon Fe for Birth Control

I'm disappointed with this pill. I've been on it for three months now and have had non-stop bleeding the entire time. My doctor says to give it a chance, but I don't see how that's possible at this point. After I finish my third pack, I'll be switching pills.

Femcon Fe for Abnormally Long or Heavy Periods

I've been taking Femcom for the past four months. I had a really negative experience with the Depo shot (constant, heavy bleeding every day), so this pill was great in comparison. It helped me regain the weight I lost from the shot and I didn't have any other problems besides some bad headaches during my third pack of pills.

Femcon Fe for Birth Control

I was on this for about a year to help with horrible periods. At first it was fine and I thought the way I felt was normal since I had no prior birth control, but about two thirds through the year it started to make me sick, depressed, my sex drive was practically gone, and all I ever wanted to do was sleep. The worst part was that my periods didn't improve and I was constantly spotting. I switched to the Ortho Evra patch and it's much better.

Femcon Fe for Birth Control

I took this pill for four months as both a form of birth control and to help with my acne. It did clear up my skin significantly, and I didn't experience any weight gain, spotting, or nausea. However, I did have three yeast infections while taking this pill--so that's something to be aware of if you're considering it.

Femcon Fe for Disease of Ovaries with Cysts

I much preferred the patch to these pills. I've been bleeding for eleven days straight and my doctor's nurse says to give it time. I'm really not enjoying this at all and will be moving on to a different treatment if things don't improve soon.

Femcon Fe for Birth Control

I've been on this pill for over a decade now, and it's done wonders for me. I haven't had any of the usual side effects like hair loss or mood swings. It's also lightened my periods and gotten rid of cramps.

Patient Review

9/21/2014

Femcon Fe for Premenstrual Disorder with a State of Unhappiness

I've been on this birth control for four months, and I've been taking birth control since I was 16. My periods have always been normal--until now. With this pill, I get breakthrough bleeding if I forget to take a pill; but it has lightened my periods overall. Additionally, my sex drive is up (which is why I'm staying on this medication), but I do experience headaches and nausea from time to time. As far as weight gain goes, it seems to be steady so far--but that's something that happens with all birth controls for me.

West Los Angeles, CA

Women Veterans are the fastest growing segment of VA users, with most users in midlife. This dramatic growth has created challenges for VA to ensure that appropriate services are available to meet women Veterans' needs, and that they will want and be able to use those services. Furthermore, few VA improvement efforts have focused on women Veterans' health and health care in midlife. The EMPOWER QUERI 3.0 Program is a cluster randomized type 3 hybrid implementation-effectiveness trial testing two strategies designed to support implementation and sustainment of evidence-based practices for women Veterans in at least 18 VA facilities from 4 regions.

The main question is the determination of the rate of feasible procedures assisted by the Epione device Participants will undergo their procedure(s) as planned by their physician. If they accept to participate to the study, the differences with standard of care will be: * The use of the Epione device to place the introducer(s), instead of freehand placement if they do not participate * Additional CT or CBCT scans during the procedure.

Virtual Chiropractic Intervention for Spinal Fracture

18+
All Sexes
Waterloo, Canada

This study will determine feasibility of a chiropractor delivered virtual intervention for individuals following osteoporotic vertebral fracture. This pilot trial will have two parallel groups with a 1:1 ratio. Participants will be randomized to: 1) immediate receipt; or 2) waitlist usual care control and delayed receipt of VIVA 10 weeks post-randomization. VIVA is an intervention for people with vertebral fractures that covers four areas: pain management, safe movement, exercise, and nutrition. It includes print and video resources, and a framework for goal setting, selecting exercises, and teaching body mechanics. A chiropractor (DC) completes a virtual assessment and then leads twelve 1:1 virtual sessions (via Zoom) over eight weeks. Sessions start with brief education on a topic (e.g., safe movement, pain management, exercise, nutrition), followed by training and modeling of exercise and safe movement strategies, then goal setting, and action planning. This trial will be considered feasible if a) we recruit 14 people in eight months; b) 80% of participants complete the trial; and c) exercise adherence is 75%.

Sculptra + Restylane for Post-Menopausal Skin Concerns

40 - 65
Female
Montreal, Canada

The post-menopausal state is marked by a sharp decline in estrogen, leading to significant structural and functional changes in the skin, including collagen loss, dryness, thinning, and reduced elasticity. To address these concerns, aesthetic injectables products such as Sculptra® Aesthetic (poly-L-lactic-acid \[PLLA- SCA\]) and Restylane Skinboosters®\[HASBV\] (small-particle hyaluronic acid - SP-HA) can be used. PLLA-SCA stimulates collagen production via cellular activation (biostimulator), gradually improving dermal structure. HASBV enhances hydration, elasticity, and skin texture when injected under the skin. Considering that hydration and laxity represent the primary aesthetic concerns in this patient population. Targeted treatment with SP-HA (HASBV) to improve hydration and PLLA-SCA to address laxity have been shown to produce significant clinical outcomes by directly addressing these key dermal deficiencies. This approach forms the basis of the current study.

Ketamine for Pelvic Pain

18 - 89
Female
Cleveland, OH

The purpose of this research study is to see if ketamine infusion during surgery can decrease pain after surgery. Ketamine is a medication commonly used as part of anesthesia during surgery and is approved by the US FDA. Patients will be randomized to either receive standard anesthesia with OR without ketamine. The surgical procedure will be the same regardless of which group patients are randomized to. After surgery, patients will be asked to rate their pain in the post-operative observation unit and at their two-week post-operative visit. No additional visits are required for participation in this study. The investigators estimate the surveys will take approximately 10 minutes to complete.
