Norgeston is a mini-pill which contains artificial form of progestogen (female sex hormone) called levonorgestrel. It is well known as effective as a combined contraceptive pill in preventing accidental pregnancy. Women, who are unable to deal with the side effects of oestrogen hormone, resort to this mini-pill as it only contains progestogen. It is also a safe option for women who are breastfeeding, smokers or over 35 years of age.
This oral contraceptive pill has gained immense popularity as it can help in:
- Alleviating the uncomfortable symptoms of PMS
- Reducing the risk of ovarian and endometrial cancer
- Reducing the likelihood of side effects
- Making your periods lighter and less painful
The Norgeston Progestogen Only Pill stops you from getting pregnant by working in three unique ways. Firstly, it makes the cervical mucus thicker so that the entry of sperm into the womb becomes difficult. Secondly, it prevents the uterine lining from thickening due to which an egg is unable to attach itself and grow in it. Lastly, it also stops the release of egg from the ovaries each month (ovulation). However, ovulation may not be paused in all women who take the pill.
Like all medications, Norgeston can cause some side effects which are mostly mild in nature. You should inform your doctor immediately if you experience any unusual side effect after using this medication. The possible side effects are changes in menstrual bleeding, diarrhoea, nausea, breast tenderness, dizziness, headaches, abdominal pain, fatigue and vomiting.
