Noriday: The Reliable Progestogen-Only Mini Pill
What is Noriday?
Noriday is a progestogen-only contraceptive pill (POP), also known as a mini pill, offering effective pregnancy prevention for women. Each Noriday tablet contains 0.35mg of norethisterone, a synthetic version of the hormone progestogen.
Unlike combined pills, Noriday does not contain oestrogen, making it suitable for women who are sensitive to oestrogen-based contraceptives. It is also ideal for breastfeeding mothers, women over 35 who smoke, or those with a history of migraines or high blood pressure.
How Does Noriday Work?
Noriday prevents pregnancy by:
- Thickening cervical mucus makes it difficult for sperm to enter the womb.
- Altering the uterine lining prevents the implantation of a fertilised egg.
- Suppressing ovulation in some women.
When taken daily at the same time, Noriday provides reliable and continuous contraceptive coverage.

Noriday offers several advantages, including:
- Highly effective contraception when taken correctly.
- Suitable for breastfeeding mothers and women over 35 who smoke.
