Norethindrone is a medication that contains the hormone progesterone. These pills may be prescribed as an alternative to birth control pills for patients who have a history of blood clots. Progesterone regulates the body’s menstrual cycle in the same way that normal birth control pills do, without the potential side effect of blood clots. Speak with your doctor if you believe a progesterone-only medication treatment is right for you
