Noriday Medical Information

Noriday is a progestogen-only contraceptive pill, or ‘POP’ for short.

Noriday contains the active substance norethisterone.

Noriday helps to prevent you becoming pregnant. It does this in several ways

• It thickens the fluid at the entrance to your womb and this makes it hard for sperm to travel through and enter the womb

• It also changes the lining of your womb so that a fertilised egg cannot grow there

• Sometimes it stops your ovaries releasing an egg

Start on the first day of your next period. This is ‘day one’ of your cycle, the day when b leeding starts

Take one pill each day and swallow the pill with water

You can take the pill at any time that suits you, but you must take it at about the same time each day

The pack is marked with the days of the week to help you remember to take your pills

Follow the direction of the arrows on the pack and take a pill every day until the pack is empty . When you finish the first pack, start a new pack on the next day. This means that you will be taking pills through your period

There must be no breaks between packs

For the first seven days of the first pack you should also use a condom, or a cap and spermicide
