Norethynodrel is a synthetic steroid that is often used as a female contraceptive. There are several synonyms for this compound including demegestone, dimethisterone, lynestrenol, norethindrone, and noretynodrel. These compounds are also considered to be progestogens, meaning that they have similar effects on the body as the hormone progesterone. They are often used in combination with estrogen in hormonal contraceptives, helping to prevent pregnancy by suppressing ovulation and thickening cervical mucus. While they are generally considered safe and effective, some women may experience side effects such as headaches, nausea, and irregular menstrual bleeding. Thus, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional before using any hormonal contraception.
