Buy Noriday

Noriday is a progestogen-only pill, a type of contraceptive pill that is sometimes referred to as the ‘mini-pill’. Unlike combined contraceptive pills, these types of pills do not contain oestrogen. The active ingredient in Noriday is norethisterone. In smaller doses, norethisterone can be used on a temporary basis to delay a period, however, Noriday contains a larger dose that is intended for use as a contraceptive pill to be taken every day.

 

How Noriday works

Noriday contains the active ingredient norethisterone, which prevents pregnancy by thickening the fluid at the entrance of the womb, making it harder for sperm to travel through. It also changes the lining of your womb so that a fertilised egg cannot grow, and sometimes it can stop your ovaries from releasing an egg in the first place.

 

Directions

Always take this medicine exactly as described in the patient information leaflet or as your doctor or pharmacist has told you. Start taking Noriday on the first day of your period and use a barrier contraceptive (like a condom) for the first 7 days. Swallow one pill whole per day, without taking any breaks in between packs. You can take your pill at any time of the day, but it must be around the same time every day. If you are three or more hours late taking your pill, you may not be protected from pregnancy. 

 

Side effects

Like all medicines, Noriday can cause side effects, but these won't affect everybody. The following side effects have been reported: 

  • Stomach upsets 
  • Changes in your weight
  • Swollen or sore breasts
  • Headaches
  • Changes in sex drive
  • Migraines
  • Changes in appetite
  • Gallstones
  • A rash
  • Feeling tired
  • Feeling nervous
  • Feeling depressed
  • High blood pressure
  • Irregular periods
  • A liver disorder, such as a benign liver tumour

If you experience any side effects, including any not included in the patient information leaflet, you can report them using the MHRA Yellow Card Scheme.

 

Serious side effects

Stop taking Noriday and tell your doctor immediately if you become jaundiced (your skin or whites of the eyes look yellow) or if you experience any signs of a severe allergic reaction. You should also seek emergency medical attention if you notice any of the following side effects which could be warning signs of a blood clot: 

  • You have a sudden, severe pain in your chest
  • You suddenly become short of breath 
  • You have an unusual, severe or long headache
  • Your sight is affected in any way
  • You find it difficult to speak
  • You collapse or faint 
  • Any part of your body suddenly feels weak or numb
  • You have a severe pain in one of your calves

Taking oral contraceptive pills like Noriday may slightly increase your risk of breast cancer. For more information on this potential risk, refer to the patient information leaflet. 

 

Warnings

Do not take Noriday if you are pregnant, or if you have any of the following:

  • An allergy to norethisterone or any of the other ingredients of this medicine
  • Hormone-dependent cancer of the breast, cervix, vagina, or womb 
  • Acute or severe chronic liver disease including past or present tumours, jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes) and other types of jaundice such as Dubin-Johnson Syndrome and Rotor Syndrome

  • Any of the following problems during pregnancy: pruritus (itching of the whole body) or jaundice for which your doctor could not find a cause

  • You have never had a period or suffer from a lack of periods (amenorrhoea)
  • Inflamed veins (thrombophlebitis)

  • Epilepsy 
  • Multiple sclerosis
