Norethindrone is a synthetic form of the hormone progesterone, often used in birth control pills and hormone replacement therapy. It works by preventing ovulation, thickening cervical mucus to hinder sperm movement, and altering the uterine lining to prevent implantation. Additionally, it can be used to treat menstrual disorders and endometriosis by regulating hormonal balance.
