Norethindrone is used to prevent pregnancy. It is a birth control pill that contains a hormone, norethindrone, and when taken properly, prevents pregnancy.

Norethindrone is also used to treat secondary amenorrhea (absence of menstrual periods in women who have previously had a menstrual period who are not pregnant), endometriosis, and irregular menstrual periods caused by hormonal imbalance.
