Q: im on depo and just been prescribed northusterone to help bleeding as its started heavy again does this medication effect the effectiveness of depo?

: Norethindrone is an oral progesterone, same ingredient with depot provera and your doctor prescribes it to supplement the effect of provera because of breakthrough bleeding. Of course, it does not change the contraceptive effect of depot provera. Take care.
