About Noriday
- Noriday is a brand of the progesterone only pill (POP)
- Noriday contains progesterone, but no oestrogen
- The form of progesterone contained with Noriday is called norethisterone
- The progesterone only pill prevents a pregnancy when taken every day
- Noriday is sometimes taken by women who cannot take oestrogen containing contraceptives
- It is important to read the patient leaflet for a full list of side effects and cautions.
How Does Noriday Work?
Progesterone is made naturally within a woman’s body during her menstrual cycle. Noriday contains a synthetic version of progesterone called norethisterone. When taken every day, Noriday prevents a woman from becoming pregnant by thickening the mucus at the cervix (entrance to the womb), stopping the sperm from reaching an egg. This prevents fertilisation and the start of a pregnancy.
Noriday may also reduce the frequency of ovulation. This, combined with thickened cervical mucus, makes Noriday a highly effective form of contraception.
How is Noriday Taken?
Each Noriday tablet should be swallowed whole with some water.
Unlike combined contraceptive pills which often require a pill-free break, Noriday should be taken every day. There is no break between packs. You must keep taking the pill each day and start a new pack with no break in between.
When you first start taking Noriday, you must use additional contraceptive measures (such as condoms) for the first 7 days.
If you switch to Noriday from another contraceptive, you should start the first pill of Noriday on the day immediately after finishing the previous pack.
You should take Noriday at the same time every day. If you take a pill late, or forget to take it, you should seek advice to check if you still have contraceptive cover. Usually, if the missed pill is taken within 3 hours of the usual dosage time, contraceptive cover is maintained. If it is more than 3 hours later, you should take the pill as soon as you remember and then continue the rest of the pack as usual. However, an alternative method of contraception, such as condoms, is recommended for the following 7 days.
Dosage of Noriday
Noriday contains 350 micrograms of norethisterone per tablet. One tablet should be taken every day.
