Noriday

Every day, at the same time, take 1 pill. Take the packs in a row without stopping, even if you’re on your period.

It’s critical to take the pill at the same time every day. If you are more than 3 hours late, you will not be able to use contraception.

Noriday is a form of progestogen-only mini pill. Its active ingredient is norethisterone, which changes the environment in your womb. This makes it harder for the sperm to reach an egg during ovulation and alters the lining of the womb so that a fertilised egg cannot develop. Noriday is an effective means of contraception.

Noriday can prevent pregnancy up to 99 percent of the time if used correctly. You may not be protected against pregnancy if you are vomiting or have severe diarrhea. Continue to take the pill as usual if this happens, but use a condom while you’re sick. If this lasts longer than 24 hours, you should take the same steps as if you missed a pill.

If you miss it by more than 3 hours, you will lose your contraceptive protection.

Noriday has no known side effects in the majority of women. Headaches, feeling sick or dizzy, mood swings, breast discomfort, or irregular periods are all possible side effects.

See the patient information leaflet for a complete list of side effects and how to use it correctly. If you have any concerns about side effects, please contact us through your Patient Record.

As soon as you remember, take the forgotten pill. Then, at the regular time, take the next pill. It’s possible that you’ll have to take two pills in one day.

You will not be protected against pregnancy if you do not take it within 3 hours of the usual time. Continue to take your pills as usual, but for the next two days, use a condom. You may need emergency contraception if you had unprotected sex during this time.
