Norimin Contraceptive Pill

Buy Norimin  

Norimin is a reliable combined contraception pill. It’s easy to take and when taken correctly, it’s 99% effective. If Norimin or any other contraceptive pill is not taken properly there is a chance you may become pregnant after unprotected sex.

How Norimin works

The hormones ethinylestradiol and norethisterone in Norimin stop your ovaries from releasing an egg. They also help prevent sperm from reaching an egg, making it difficult for an egg to implant itself in the lining of the womb. 

If you begin using Norimin on days 1-5 of your period, you should be immediately protected from pregnancy. 

If you start after day 1 and/or have a short/irregular cycle you will need to use condoms for a week if you have sexual intercourse.

Directions

Always take Norimin exactly as described in the patient information leaflet or as your doctor / Chemist4U pharmacist has told you. 

Many women prefer to take 1 pill daily for 21 days, then have a 4 or 7 day break before starting the next pack. 

Norimin can also be taken as follows:

• Tricycling: Taking 1 pill every day for 9 weeks with no breaks. After 9 weeks take a 4 or 7 day break before starting the cycle again.
• Continuous use: Taking 1 pill every day with no break.
• Flexible extended use: Taking 1 pill every day for a minimum of 21 days. If you get bleeding that isn’t normal for you, take a 4 day break. On day 5 begin taking the pill again and don’t have another break for at least 21 days.

Side effects

Like all medicines, Norimin may cause side effects in some people, but these won’t affect everybody. Common side effects include: 

• Headaches 
• Nausea 
• Breast discomfort 
• Irregular bleeding 
• Mood swings

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

Seek emergency medical attention if you notice any signs of a severe allergic reaction, symptoms of which include swelling of the face and throat, skin rash, breathing difficulties, and/or loss of consciousness. Some women can develop blood clots. Norimon carries a slightly higher risk of blood clots than other pills.
