Description
Utovlan is a tablet containing norethisterone, a synthetic version of the hormone progesterone. It is used to delay the onset of menstruation or to suppress periods in people who experience heavy, painful, or irregular cycles. Utovlan is commonly used for short-term cycle management, such as when travel, special occasions, or medical conditions make menstruation inconvenient.
The medication works by keeping progesterone levels elevated, preventing the natural drop that signals the body to start a period. Once the tablets are stopped, hormone levels fall and a withdrawal bleed typically begins within a few days.
Utovlan is usually taken two to three times daily starting three days before the expected start of menstruation. It does not act as a contraceptive, so additional protection is needed if avoiding pregnancy. It can also be used in specific medical contexts for longer menstrual suppression under medical supervision.
Utovlan is suitable for individuals who prefer a progestogen-only solution to regulate their cycles and who are looking for flexibility in when and whether they bleed. Menstrual cycles generally return to normal shortly after stopping the tablets.
