Overview

Norcolut 5mg Tablet contains Norethisterone 5mg and is presented as a tablet. It is supplied in pack sizes of 10s and 20s.

It is classified as a non-prescription medicine, so no prescription is needed to order it. Under Malaysian rules for medicine information, this page carries product, safety and handling information only.

You can consult a doctor or pharmacist online on DoctorOnCall about this product before or after you order. Every order is checked by a registered pharmacist before it is delivered. Always read the label and the leaflet supplied with the pack.

Directions for Use

Norcolut should only be taken according to the dose and schedule prescribed by a doctor, as the regimen differs depending on whether it is being used for heavy bleeding, cycle irregularity, or period delay. Tablets are usually taken orally with water, at the same time each day, and it is important to complete the full course as instructed even if bleeding improves earlier than expected.

Dosage

The typical dose prescribed depends on the condition being treated; for period delay, tablets are commonly started a few days before the expected period and continued until delay is no longer needed, while for heavy or irregular bleeding a short course over several days each cycle may be prescribed. Always follow the exact dose, frequency, and duration given by the prescribing doctor rather than adjusting the dose independently.

Shelf Life

Norcolut 5mg Tablet is typically stable for up to 36 months from the date of manufacture when unopened and stored correctly; always check the expiry date printed on the packaging and do not use the product beyond this date.
