Endometriosis : norethindrone acetate Scientists in Italy have demonstrated that low-dose norethindrone acetate could be considered an effective, tolerable, and inexpensive first-choice medical alternative to repeat surgery for treating symptomatic rectovaginal endometrioti lesions in patients who do not seek conception.

According to an intention-to-treat analysis, 28 (62%) out of 45 patients in the ethinyl E2 plus cyproterone acetate group and 33 (73%) out of 45 in the norethindrone acetate group were satisfied with the treatment received. www.endometriosis.org /research1105.html   (196 words)
