Aygestin (norethindrone acetate) is a progestin-only prescription medication that has been used in the USA for decades to manage several gynecologic conditions. It is most commonly dispensed as 5 mg oral tablets and is available as both a brand-name and a therapeutically equivalent generic. In clinical practice across the United States, Aygestin is prescribed for abnormal uterine bleeding due to hormonal imbalance (in the absence of organic pathology such as fibroids or malignancy), secondary amenorrhea, and for the management of endometriosis-associated pain and lesions.

While some progestin products are formulated and approved for contraception, Aygestin is not indicated as a birth control pill. Instead, it supports the endometrium (lining of the uterus) and modulates hormone signaling to stabilize bleeding, trigger withdrawal bleeding when clinically appropriate, and reduce endometriosis symptoms. In the USA, Aygestin requires a valid prescription from a licensed clinician. Many patients obtain it through local community pharmacies, mail-order services, or legitimate online pharmacies that operate under U.S. laws and offer telehealth consultations when needed.

What is Aygestin (norethindrone acetate)?

Aygestin contains norethindrone acetate, a synthetic progestin. Progestins mimic the effects of progesterone, a naturally occurring hormone that helps regulate the menstrual cycle and maintain the endometrium. By providing progestational activity, Aygestin can stabilize the uterine lining, reduce hormone-driven bleeding, and alleviate symptoms associated with endometrial proliferation. This medicine is available by prescription only in the United States.

Key facts about Aygestin in the USA:

• Indications: abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) due to hormonal imbalance, secondary amenorrhea, and endometriosis
• Strengths: most commonly 5 mg tablets (dose may be increased under medical supervision)
• Route: oral administration
• Status: prescription only (Rx) — not an over-the-counter product
• Not a contraceptive: Aygestin is not approved for preventing pregnancy

Who might benefit from Aygestin?

Clinicians in the USA commonly consider Aygestin for adults with:

• Abnormal uterine bleeding due to hormonal imbalance where malignancy and structural causes have been excluded
• Secondary amenorrhea (absence of menstrual periods in someone who previously menstruated)
• Endometriosis (to reduce pain and suppress endometrial implant activity)

Before starting therapy, your provider will evaluate your history, current medications, and risk factors (for example, past blood clots, liver disease, or undiagnosed uterine bleeding). Treatment plans are individualized to optimize benefit and minimize risk.

How Aygestin works

Norethindrone acetate binds to progesterone receptors in target tissues. Its progestational effects counterbalance estrogen-driven proliferation of the endometrium, promoting a more stable lining and reducing unpredictable shedding. In endometriosis, continuous progestin exposure can suppress endometrial implants, helping reduce pelvic pain, dysmenorrhea, and associated symptoms. By shifting hormone signaling, Aygestin may also provoke a predictable “withdrawal bleed” after a prescribed course in cases of amenorrhea or AUB when clinically appropriate.

Aygestin dosage and typical schedules (USA)

Dosing must be individualized by a licensed clinician. The following ranges reflect common U.S. practice and information from the product labeling. Do not self-adjust your dose without medical advice.

Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) due to hormonal imbalance

• Typical regimen: 2.5 mg to 10 mg once daily for 5 to 10 days per cycle
• Many clinicians start at 5 mg once daily; dose and duration are adjusted based on bleeding pattern and response
• Withdrawal bleeding generally occurs 3 to 7 days after the last tablet

Secondary amenorrhea

• Common regimen: 2.5 mg to 10 mg once daily for 5 to 10 days
• Your clinician may coordinate Aygestin with other diagnostics or therapies depending on the underlying cause

Endometriosis

• Typical starting dose: 5 mg once daily for 2 weeks
• Then increase by 2.5 mg every 2 weeks, as tolerated, up to 15 mg daily
• Course length: often 6 to 9 months, individualized based on symptoms and tolerability

Administration tips:

• Take tablets at the same time each day
• With or without food is acceptable; if nausea occurs, taking with food may help
• If you miss a dose, take it when you remember unless it is almost time for your next dose—do not double up without provider guidance
• Always follow your prescriber’s instructions, which may differ from general guidance based on your clinical situation

Aygestin cost and pricing in the USA

In the United States, Aygestin is available as a brand and as generic norethindrone acetate tablets. Generic versions are typically more affordable and are considered therapeutically equivalent by the FDA. Actual out-of-pocket cost varies based on your pharmacy, insurance plan, copay tier, use of savings programs, and location.

What affects price:

• Brand vs. generic (generics are usually less expensive)
• Insurance coverage and deductible status
• Pharmacy pricing and discount programs
• Quantity dispensed and dosing (for example, higher daily doses for endometriosis require more tablets)

Tips to save on Aygestin in the USA:

• Ask your prescriber if a generic is appropriate
• Compare prices across local and mail-order pharmacies
• Use pharmacy savings cards or manufacturer assistance programs when available
• Discuss 90-day fills if you are on a stable, longer-term regimen

Where can I buy Aygestin in the USA?

In the United States, Aygestin requires a valid prescription. You can obtain it from:

• Neighborhood retail pharmacies
• Mail-order pharmacies associated with your insurance
• Reputable online pharmacies operating under U.S. law

Many legitimate online services offer telehealth consultations with U.S.-licensed clinicians for eligible patients. After your evaluation, your prescription can be sent to a pharmacy that ships directly to your home. Always choose pharmacies that require a prescription, provide pharmacist counseling, and display licensure and accreditation (such as VIPPS or NABP listings).

How ordering works online

To get Aygestin online in the USA, you will typically:

1. Complete a health questionnaire and/or schedule a telehealth visit
2. Confirm your medical history, current medications, and any allergies
3. Receive a prescription if clinically appropriate
4. Choose a pharmacy for fulfillment and shipping

Most services provide discreet packaging and tracking. If you have urgent symptoms (e.g., heavy bleeding, severe pain, symptoms of a blood clot), seek immediate care rather than using an online service.

Important safety information, boxed and major warnings

Aygestin is a progestin and carries important warnings and contraindications. Read the full FDA-approved labeling and speak with your clinician to understand how these apply to you.

Do not use Aygestin if you have:

• Known or suspected pregnancy
• Undiagnosed abnormal genital bleeding
• Active or past blood clots (venous thromboembolism), stroke, or arterial thrombotic disease, unless your clinician determines that benefits outweigh risks
• Severe liver disease, liver tumors, or impaired liver function
• Known or suspected cancer of the breast (or other hormone-sensitive cancers), unless your specialist advises otherwise
• Hypersensitivity to norethindrone acetate or any tablet excipients

Smoking increases cardiovascular risk, especially in people aged 35 and older. Although Aygestin is not a combined estrogen-progestin contraceptive, your overall risk profile should be reviewed with your clinician. Promptly report any symptoms suggestive of blood clots (e.g., leg swelling or pain, sudden chest pain, shortness of breath, severe headache, vision changes, or sudden weakness).

Common side effects of Aygestin

Not everyone experiences side effects, and many effects, when they occur, are mild and improve with time. Contact your clinician if symptoms are persistent, severe, or concerning.

Common, usually mild

• Breakthrough bleeding or spotting, changes in menstrual flow or timing
• Breast tenderness or fullness
• Nausea, bloating, abdominal discomfort
• Headache, dizziness, fatigue
• Mood changes, irritability, or changes in libido
• Acne, oily skin, hair changes (including possible hair loss or increased facial/body hair)
• Weight changes and fluid retention

Serious — seek urgent medical care

• Symptoms of a blood clot: leg pain or swelling, chest pain, sudden shortness of breath
• Neurologic symptoms: sudden severe headache, vision loss or blurring, sudden weakness or numbness, trouble speaking
• Jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes), severe abdominal pain, dark urine — possible liver problems
• Allergic reactions: rash, itching/swelling (especially of the face/tongue/throat), severe dizziness, trouble breathing
• Severe depression or mood changes

Drug interactions

Always inform your clinician and pharmacist about every prescription, over-the-counter medicine, vitamin, and herbal product you take. Interactions can change how Aygestin or other medicines work or increase the risk of side effects.

Medicines and supplements that may reduce Aygestin effectiveness

• Strong CYP3A inducers: rifampin, rifabutin
• Certain anti-seizure medicines: carbamazepine, phenytoin, phenobarbital, primidone
• Some HIV medications (boosted regimens) and other enzyme inducers
• Herbal products such as St. John’s wort

Medicines that may increase norethindrone levels

• Strong CYP3A inhibitors (e.g., certain azole antifungals, macrolide antibiotics, some HIV protease inhibitors)

Other considerations

• Anticoagulants (e.g., warfarin): progestins may affect clotting risk; monitoring may be required
• Diabetes medicines: progestins can affect glucose tolerance; monitor blood sugar as directed
• Thyroid hormone replacement: dose adjustments are sometimes needed when hormones are added or changed

Your prescriber may adjust your regimen, monitor labs, or recommend alternatives to avoid clinically significant interactions.

Use in pregnancy, postpartum, and breastfeeding

Aygestin is contraindicated during pregnancy. If you become pregnant or suspect pregnancy while taking Aygestin, stop the medication and contact your clinician immediately. Progestins can cross the placenta; nonessential exposure during pregnancy should be avoided.

Breastfeeding: Norethindrone can be excreted in breast milk. Discuss risks and benefits with your clinician. Some progestin-only products may be considered compatible with breastfeeding, but Aygestin is not a contraceptive and has different dosing and indications than progestin-only “mini-pills.” Individual recommendations vary based on your condition and the age of your infant.

Monitoring and follow-up

Your clinician may schedule follow-up visits or tests to ensure Aygestin is working safely and effectively:

• Evaluation of bleeding pattern, pelvic symptoms, and pain control
• Monitoring for adverse effects including mood changes and blood pressure
• Liver function testing if clinically indicated
• Pregnancy testing when appropriate

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

Is Aygestin the same as birth control pills?

No. Aygestin (norethindrone acetate) is not indicated for contraception. It is prescribed for abnormal uterine bleeding due to hormonal imbalance, secondary amenorrhea, and endometriosis. If you need pregnancy prevention, ask your clinician about appropriate contraceptive options.

How quickly does Aygestin work?

For abnormal uterine bleeding or amenorrhea, withdrawal bleeding often occurs within a week after finishing a short course. For endometriosis, improvement in pain may take several weeks; maximum benefit is often seen with continuous use over months as directed by your clinician.

Can I take Aygestin with food?

Yes. You can take Aygestin with or without food. If you experience nausea, taking your tablet with a light meal may help.

What if I miss a dose?

Take the missed tablet as soon as you remember unless it is near the time for your next dose. In that case, skip the missed dose and resume your usual schedule. Do not take two doses at once without medical advice. If you miss more than one dose, contact your clinician for guidance.

Is generic norethindrone acetate as effective as Aygestin?

Yes. FDA-approved generics must demonstrate bioequivalence to the brand. Many patients use generic norethindrone acetate at a lower cost with equivalent therapeutic effect. Your clinician and pharmacist can help you decide which product is best for you.

Patient counseling tips

• Take Aygestin exactly as prescribed and do not share your medication with others
• Keep a symptom and bleeding diary to review at follow-up visits
• Report any sudden, severe headaches, visual changes, chest pain, shortness of breath, or leg swelling immediately
• If you need surgery or prolonged immobilization, inform your clinician — you may need to pause therapy
• Avoid smoking and discuss cardiovascular risk factors with your provider

Storage and handling

• Store tablets at room temperature, protected from moisture and excessive heat
• Keep in the original container, tightly closed, and out of reach of children and pets
• Do not use expired medication; ask your pharmacist how to dispose of unused tablets safely

Comparing Aygestin with other progestin therapies

The choice among progestin therapies depends on diagnosis, goals of therapy, tolerability, and comorbidities:

• Norethindrone 0.35 mg “mini-pill”: indicated for contraception, not directly interchangeable with Aygestin
• Medroxyprogesterone acetate: sometimes used for AUB or amenorrhea; injectable depot form is contraceptive
• Levonorgestrel IUD: local progestin delivery that can reduce heavy bleeding and endometrial proliferation
• Dienogest and other agents: used in endometriosis with varying evidence and side-effect profiles

Your gynecologist can help determine whether Aygestin is the best fit or whether an alternative may better align with your needs.

When to contact a clinician urgently

• Heavy or prolonged bleeding soaking through pads/tampons hourly
• Chest pain, sudden shortness of breath, coughing up blood
• Severe headaches, fainting, sudden weakness or numbness, vision changes
• Severe abdominal pain, yellowing of skin or eyes, very dark urine
• Possible pregnancy while on therapy
