Noriday

Noriday contains the active ingredient Norethisterone and works by thickening the mucus in the neck of the womb, this makes it harder for sperm to penetrate the womb and reach an egg, and thus fertilize it.

Noriday is more than 99% effective. This means that less than 1 in 100 women who use the progestogen-only pill for contraception will get pregnant in one year.

Take one daily, at around the same time. The Click Health Pharmacist advises women to take the tablet at a suitable time, so that they won’t forget, e.g. with breakfast.

If you forget to take a pill or miss a pill, you must ensure that this is no more than 3 hours late from its usual time to be taken. If you are more than 3 hours late to take the pill, you will not be protected, and we advise taking 7-days extra protection until you are protected again.
If you vomit, within two hours of taking a Noriday tablet, take another one.

Noriday is generally well tolerated and side effects are rare. Some side effects can include:
• acne 
• breast tenderness and breast enlargement 
• an increased or decreased sex drive 
• mood changes 
• headache and migraine
• nausea or vomiting 
• small fluid-filled sacs called cysts on your ovaries – these are usually harmless and disappear without treatment
• stomach upset 
• weight gain
These side effects are most likely to occur during the first few months of taking Noriday, but they generally improve over time and should stop within a few months.
