2. Norethisterone (Progesterone only pill)
Norethisterone a progestogen and has been used used treat premenstrual syndrome, painful periods, abnormal heavy bleeding, irregular periods. In a study of A comparative study of danazol and norethisterone in dysfunctional uterine bleeding presenting as menorrhagia M. Bonduelle, J.J. Walker and A.A. Caldert, researcher found that Since this study was undertaken, a report of
objective measurement of blood loss in small groups of patients9 casts further doubt on the
efficacy ofnorethisterone, although it confirms that of danazol. Since norethisterone is very widely used, a detailed assessment of its efficacy and safety in comparison to danazol is overdue. Should such a study confirm the findings discussed here then danazol could usefully be employed as first line therapy in the management of dysfunctional uterine bleeding presenting as menorrhagia.

3. Danazol
Danazol is synthetic steroid ethisterone, a modified testosterone that is used to inhibit ovarian steroidogenesis resulting in decreased secretion of estradiol and may increase androgens. although it is a standard medicine in treating menorrhagia
According the study of Efficacy of vaginal danazol treatment in women with menorrhagia during fertile age by Luisi S, Razzi S, Lazzeri L, Bocchi C, Severi FM, Petraglia F., researchers concluded that vaginal danazol resulted in effective medical treatment in young women with menorrhagia, and, because of a lack of significant adverse effects, it may be proposed as an alternative treatment.
