- Can I get Norethindrone Acetate (NETA) in San Jose?

Frequently Asked Questions
What is norethindrone acetate?
Norethindrone acetate (NETA) is a 19-nortestosterone-derived progestin used in combined oral and transdermal HRT for endometrial protection, and at higher doses for endometriosis and abnormal uterine bleeding.
How does NETA compare to micronized progesterone?
NETA is more androgenic and metabolically active than micronized progesterone. Observational data suggest synthetic progestins, including NETA-containing combinations, may carry a higher breast cancer signal than micronized progesterone after 5+ years of use.
NETA's advantage is reliable bleeding control and availability in fixed-dose combination products (Activella, CombiPatch).
Is NETA FDA-approved?
Yes. NETA is FDA-approved as a component of combined menopausal HRT (Activella, CombiPatch), for endometriosis (Aygestin), and abnormal uterine bleeding.
What are the main risks?
NETA can have unfavorable lipid effects, particularly lowering HDL. Increased risk of VTE and stroke applies as with other progestin-containing HRT regimens, particularly when paired with oral estrogen.
How is NETA dosed?
In fixed-dose menopausal HRT, NETA is typically 0.1–0.5 mg daily combined with estradiol. Higher doses (5 mg) are used for endometriosis. Your prescriber will choose the dose based on indication.
What are common side effects?
Breakthrough bleeding, breast tenderness, mood changes, headache, and acne are most common. Acne and oily skin reflect NETA's mild androgenic activity.
Can I get NETA without a prescription?
No. NETA is a prescription medication.
