What is Micronor and how does it work?
Micronor is a progestin-only oral contraceptive pill, often referred to as the 'mini pill.' It contains norethisterone, which works primarily by thickening the cervical mucus to prevent sperm from reaching an egg and altering the lining of the womb to prevent a fertilized egg from implanting.
How should I take Micronor?
Take one Micronor tablet every day at the same time each day, with or without food. There are no breaks between packs, so you should start the next pack the day after finishing the current one.
What are the potential side effects of taking Micronor?
Common side effects include irregular menstrual bleeding, headaches, nausea, breast tenderness, and changes in weight. While most side effects are mild, you should contact your healthcare provider if they persist or become bothersome.
Can I take Micronor while breastfeeding?
Yes, Micronor is considered safe to use while breastfeeding as it does not significantly affect the quantity or quality of breast milk and poses minimal risk to a nursing infant.
What should I do if I miss a dose of Micronor?
If you miss a dose or are more than 3 hours late taking it, take the missed dose as soon as you remember. Continue taking the next pills at the usual time, but use a backup contraceptive method, such as condoms, for the next 48 hours to maintain contraceptive protection.
Is Micronor effective as a contraceptive?
When taken correctly, Micronor is over 99% effective at preventing pregnancy. Its effectiveness can be reduced if pills are missed or taken incorrectly.
Who should not take Micronor?
Do not take Micronor if you have allergies to progestins or any of the ingredients in the pill, have a history of blood clots, liver disease, undiagnosed vaginal bleeding, or if you are pregnant.
