Abstract
We obtained electronic prescribing analysis and cost information on the number of prescriptions for norethisterone 5 mg issued by Oxfordshire general practitioners between April 1995 and December 1998. We also obtained prescribing levels for general practitioners in England from February 1997 until January 1999. We conducted a computer literature search using the key Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) terms “norethindrone” (for Medline) and “norethisterone” (for Embase), “holidays,” “periodicity,” and “menstruation” in Medline 1966-March 1999, Embase 1980-1999/2001, and the Cochrane Library issue 3 1998.Keywords
