Description

Noriday is a progestogen-only contraceptive pill (POP) designed for women seeking effective birth control without estrogen. It contains 350 micrograms of norethisterone, a synthetic form of the hormone progesterone. Noriday is suitable for women who may not tolerate combined oral contraceptives or have contraindications to estrogen. It offers a reliable method of contraception when taken consistently and correctly.

How It Works

Noriday works primarily by thickening the cervical mucus, making it more difficult for sperm to enter the uterus. It also alters the lining of the uterus, reducing the likelihood of implantation. In some cases, Noriday may inhibit ovulation, preventing the release of an egg from the ovaries. These combined actions contribute to its contraceptive effectiveness.

Why Choose Noriday

  • Estrogen-Free: Ideal for women who cannot take estrogen-containing contraceptives.

  • Daily Dosing: Simple regimen of one tablet daily without breaks.

  • Suitable for Various Age Groups: Can be used by women of different ages, including those who are breastfeeding.

  • Proven Efficacy: When taken correctly, Noriday is a reliable method of contraception.

Important Note

This medication must be taken at the same time every day to maintain its effectiveness. Missing a dose or taking it late can increase the risk of pregnancy. It does not protect against sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Regular medical check-ups are recommended to monitor health and discuss any concerns while using this contraceptive method.
