Why is Noriday prescribed?

Noriday is a progestogen-only contraceptive pill (commonly referred to as a "mini-pill"). It is prescribed primarily to prevent pregnancy. Unlike combination contraceptive pills, Noriday contains only one hormone, norethisterone, which is a type of progestogen.

What does it do?

Noriday (Norethisterone) works by thickening the cervical mucus to make it harder for sperm to reach an egg and thinning the lining of the uterus, which makes it less suitable for a fertilized egg to implant. Noriday is often chosen for individuals who cannot use contraceptives containing estrogen, such as those who are breastfeeding or at higher risk of complications from estrogen-containing contraceptives.

How should I take it?

Taking Noriday correctly is crucial for its effectiveness as a contraceptive. Here are some general guidelines to keep in mind:

• Begin taking your first tablet on the first day of your next period, which is the day your bleeding starts.
• Take one tablet at the same time every day without missing a dose. Consistency helps maintain the required hormone levels in your body.
• If you start on the first day of your period, you’ll be protected from pregnancy immediately.
• If you start on any other day, you may need to use additional contraception (e.g., condoms) for the first 7 days.
• Once you finish a pack, start a new one immediately the next day. There is no break between packs, unlike some combination pills.

Always follow the specific instructions provided by your doctor or healthcare provider, as they may tailor advice based on your medical history.

What if I missed a dose?

Missing a dose of Noriday can reduce its effectiveness, so it’s crucial to act promptly. Follow the instructions provided in your medication guide or consult your doctor for the best course of action.

If you’re less than 3 hours late, take the missed pill as soon as you remember and continue taking the rest of your pills at your usual time. On the other hand, if you’re more than 3 hours late, take the missed pill as soon as possible and use extra contraception for the next 2 days.

What are the special precautions before taking Noriday?

Before taking Noriday (Norethisterone), it's essential to undergo a comprehensive medical check-up, which should include a Pap smear, breast examination, blood pressure assessment, and urine test.

These are the important precautions to keep in mind:

• Blood clots or clotting disorders
• Liver disease or issues affecting liver function
• History of breast cancer or other hormone-sensitive cancers
• Migraines with aura
• Diabetes, particularly if it affects your blood vessels
• Unexplained vaginal bleeding
• High blood pressure

Be vigilant about taking the pill at the same time every day. Missing doses or taking them late can reduce its effectiveness and may require additional contraceptive measures.

Does it have any side effects?

It is important to note that all drugs have corresponding side effects and adverse reactions. Additional information may be obtained when you ask your doctor or pharmacist.

This is not a complete list of all possible side effects, and others may occur. For more information about side effects, please consult your healthcare provider.

Is it safe to take it with another drug?

Keep your doctor informed about all the medications you are currently taking so they can provide guidance on potential drug interactions. Do not start, stop, or adjust the dosage of any medication without your doctor’s approval. Some medications that can affect Noriday's effectiveness may include:

• Antacids, which is commonly used for indigestion or heartburn
• Antibiotics such as rifampicin or rifabutin
• Anti-epileptic drugs such as carbamazepine or phenytoin
• St. John’s Wort
• HIV or Hepatitis C Drugs
• Medicines that are used to treat epilepsy or seizure such as barbiturates, primidone, phenytoin, and carbamazepine

If you're prescribed a new medication while taking Noriday, consult your doctor to ensure there are no conflicts.

How should I store it?

Store Noriday in its original packaging at room temperature, away from extreme heat, cold, or humidity. Ideally, a temperature between 20°C and 25°C (68°F to 77°F).

What action should I take in case of overdose?

In case of an overdose with Noriday, contact your healthcare provider or go to the nearest hospital right away if any symptoms persist. Symptoms of an overdose may include nausea, vomiting, or vaginal bleeding.

Is it safe for pregnant or breastfeeding women?

Noriday (Norethisterone) is not advised for use during pregnancy. If you suspect you are pregnant while taking it, stop immediately and consult your doctor for guidance. Although Noriday is generally considered safe for breastfeeding, as it does not interfere with milk production, it's important to consult your doctor to ensure it suits both you and your baby’s health needs.
