Gallifrey (Norethindrone Acetate Tablets, USP), 5 mg
Therapy with Gallifrey tablets must be adapted to the specific indications and therapeutic response of the individual patient.
Secondary amenorrhea, abnormal uterine bleeding due to hormonal imbalance in the absence of organic pathology: 2.5 mg to 10 mg Gallifrey may be given daily for 5 to 10 days to produce secretory transformation of an endometrium that has been adequately primed with either endogenous or exogenous estrogen.
Progestin withdrawal bleeding usually occurs within three to seven days after discontinuing Gallifrey therapy. Patients with a past history of recurrent episodes of abnormal uterine bleeding may benefit from planned menstrual cycling with Gallifrey.
Endometriosis: Initial daily dosage of 5 mg Gallifrey for two weeks. Dosage should be increased by 2.5 mg per day every two weeks until 15 mg per day of Gallifrey is reached. Therapy may be held at this level for six to nine months or until annoying breakthrough bleeding demands temporary termination.
