Female sex hormones (estrogens and progestogens) related DILI generally occur with estrogen component. Progesterone component related DILI are infrequently reported. Norethisterone is commonly used drug in gynecologic practice to prevent excess per vaginal bleeding. We report 3 cases of Norethisterone related DILI manifesting as significant rise of transaminases. All of these patients took Norethisterone for prolonged periods and improved completely after withdrawal of drug.
