Description

Norgeston is an oral contraceptive pill (the ‘mini Pill’). You take it to stop you getting pregnant. Norgeston contains a type of female sex hormone, called a progestogen. This hormone stops you getting pregnant by working in three ways: by making the fluid (mucus) in your cervix thicker, which makes it more difficult for sperm to enter the womb; by preventing the lining of your womb thickening enough for an egg to grow in it; and in some women it also stops the ovary releasing an egg each month (ovulation).

Norgeston is taken every day without a break. You take a pill every day for 35 days.

Norgeston needs to be taken as directed to prevent pregnancy.

The likelihood of getting pregnant is slightly higher if you take a progestogen-only pill (POP) such as Norgeston than with some other medicines for hormonal contraception such as combined hormonal contraceptives containing an oestrogen and a progestogen. Your doctor can provide further information on this. The effect of Norgeston is similar to that of other POPs. The failure rate may increase if pills are missed or taken incorrectly.

The benefits of taking the Pill include:

▪ it is one of the most reliable reversible methods of contraception if used correctly
▪ it doesn’t interrupt sex

Norgeston will not protect you against sexually transmitted infections, such as Chlamydia or HIV. Only condoms can help to do this.
