norethindrone acetate and Hyperprolactinemia

norethindrone acetate has been researched along with Hyperprolactinemia in 1 studies

norethisterone acetate : A 3-oxo Delta(4)-steroid that is norethisterone in which the hydroxy group has been converted to its acetate ester.

Hyperprolactinemia: Increased levels of PROLACTIN in the BLOOD, which may be associated with AMENORRHEA and GALACTORRHEA. Relatively common etiologies include PROLACTINOMA, medication effect, KIDNEY FAILURE, granulomatous diseases of the PITUITARY GLAND, and disorders which interfere with the hypothalamic inhibition of prolactin release. Ectopic (non-pituitary) production of prolactin may also occur. (From Joynt, Clinical Neurology, 1992, Ch36, pp77-8)

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" This study shows that estrogen/progestogen treatment in standard contraceptive dosage usually leads to only moderate and non-progressive stimulation of pituitary activity in women with hyperprolactinemic amenorrhea, but occasional excessive growth of a prolactinoma can occur and treatment needs to be monitored."1.28The effect of combined estrogen/progestogen treatment in women with hyperprolactinemic amenorrhea.
