RELUGOLIX; ESTRADIOL; NORETHINDRONE (rel loo GOE lix; es tra DYE ole; nor eth IN drone) helps reduce heavy periods caused by uterine fibroids. It may also be used to treat pain from endometriosis. Relugolix works by decreasing the amount of estrogen and other hormones your body makes, which reduces heavy bleeding and pain. Estradiol lowers the risk of bone loss caused by relugolix. Norethindrone helps lower the risk of cancer that can be caused by estradiol. This medication contains the hormones estrogen and progestin.
