What is a generic medication?
Generic medications are significantly discounted copies of brand name medication that have the same active ingredients, intended use, dosage, side effects, effects, and route of administration as the original brand name medication. In other words, generic medications have the same pharmacological effects as their brand-name counterparts. Over half of all prescribed medications are for generic medications.

Aygestin Overview
Aygestin is used to treat women with abnormal bleeding from the uterus. It is also used to treat women who have stopped having menstrual periods for several months (amenorrhea) but who are not pregnant or going through menopause. In addition, Aygestin is used to treat a condition (endometriosis) in which tissue that normally lines the inside of the uterus is found outside the uterus in the abdomen/pelvic area, causing painful/irregular periods. Norethindrone is a type of female hormone (progestin). It is like the hormone progesterone that your body makes naturally. Aygestin works by stopping the normal growth of the uterus lining during the menstrual cycle and signaling hormone changes in the uterus to restore normal menstrual periods. Aygestin must not be used to test for pregnancy. Progestins are not effective in preventing miscarriages.
How to Use Aygestin
Read the Patient Information Leaflet provided by your pharmacist before you start using Aygestin and each time you get a refill. If you have any questions, consult your doctor or pharmacist. Take Aygestin by mouth as prescribed by your doctor. You may take it with food or after a meal to prevent stomach upset. Follow the dosing schedule carefully. Ask your doctor if you have any questions. The Dosage of Aygestin is based on your medical condition and response to therapy. For the treatment of stopped menstrual periods and abnormal bleeding from the uterus, Aygestin is usually taken once daily for 5-10 days during the second half of the planned menstrual cycle or as directed by your doctor. Withdrawal bleeding usually occurs within 3-7 days after you stop taking the medication. Tell your doctor if your condition lasts or gets worse.
