Overview

Heather is a progestin-only mini pill that contains norethindrone. It is specifically designed for women seeking an effective hormonal contraceptive without the use of estrogen. Heather is an ideal option for those who may have health concerns related to estrogen or are currently breastfeeding.

How It Works

Heather works by releasing the hormone norethindrone, which prevents ovulation, thickens the cervical mucus to block sperm from entering the uterus, and alters the uterine lining to prevent implantation of a fertilized egg. This multifaceted approach makes Heather a reliable method of birth control.

Effectiveness

When taken correctly, Heather is over 99% effective in preventing pregnancy. With typical use, the effectiveness drops to about 91%. Factors such as missed doses, interactions with other medications, and gastrointestinal issues can impact its effectiveness.

Indications

Heather is recommended for women seeking a reliable birth control method that is free of estrogen. It is suitable for women aged 16 and older, including those who are postpartum or breastfeeding.

Usage Instructions

1. When to Start: Begin taking Heather at least 3 days before engaging in unprotected intercourse.
2. Daily Routine: Take one tablet at the same time every day to maintain consistent hormone levels.
3. Missed Dose: If you miss a dose by more than 3 hours, take it as soon as you remember. If it’s close to your next scheduled dose, skip the missed one and resume your normal routine. Use backup contraception for the next 48 hours.
