Buy Norethindrone Online

Overview

Norethindrone is a type of mini pill, a form of hormonal birth control that primarily contains the synthetic progestin norethindrone. Its main purpose is to prevent pregnancy by inhibiting ovulation and altering the uterine lining, making it less suitable for implantation.

How It Works

Norethindrone works by releasing hormones that prevent the ovaries from releasing eggs (ovulation). It also thickens the cervical mucus, making it difficult for sperm to enter the uterus, and alters the uterine lining to prevent implantation should fertilization occur.

Effectiveness

When taken correctly, Norethindrone has a success rate of over 99% in preventing pregnancy. However, with typical use, the effectiveness may drop to around 91%. Factors such as missed doses, certain medications, and gastrointestinal issues can affect its effectiveness.

Indications

Norethindrone is recommended for women seeking reliable birth control, especially those who may be sensitive to estrogen. It is suitable for many women, including those who are breastfeeding or have a history of estrogen-related side effects. Generally, it is recommended for women over the age of 16.

Usage Instructions

1. When to Start: Begin taking Norethindrone at least 3 days before engaging in unprotected sex.
2. Daily Routine: Take one pill at the same time every day, preferably with food to minimize stomach upset.
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 the next dose, skip the missed one and continue your normal schedule. Use backup contraception for the next 48 hours.
4. Storage: Store Norethindrone at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and moisture.
