Norethindrone, commonly known as the "mini-pill," is a progestin-only contraceptive used to prevent pregnancy. This medication is ideal for individuals who cannot take estrogen, as it is estrogen-free. Norethindrone works by thickening cervical mucus to block sperm movement and altering the uterine lining to create an environment unfavorable for a fertilized egg to implant. Additionally, in some cases, it also inhibits ovulation. The "mini-pill" is generally more effective than some other contraceptive methods, like condoms or diaphragms, but may be less effective than combination hormone contraceptives that include both estrogen and progestin. It is crucial to take this medication at the same time every day to maximize its effectiveness. While Norethindrone is effective at preventing pregnancy, it does not offer protection against sexually transmitted infections such as HIV or gonorrhea. Possible side effects may include irregular bleeding, headaches, and nausea. Various brand names for this medication include Errin, Jencycla, and Heather. Always consult your healthcare provider for advice tailored to your personal health circumstances before starting any new medication.
