product information
Norgeston tablets are a type of hormonal contraceptive commonly known as the 'mini pill' or progestogen-only pill (POP). They contain the active ingredient levonorgestrel, which is a synthetic progestogen, similar to the natural progestogens produced by the body.
Norgeston tablets prevent pregnancy in three ways.
Firstly, they affect the natural mucus at the neck of the womb (cervix). Levonorgestrel increases the thickness of this mucus, making it more difficult for sperm to cross from the vagina into the womb. By preventing sperm entering the womb, successful fertilisation of an egg, leading to pregnancy, is less likely.
Levonorgestrel also changes the quality of the womb lining (endometrium). The changes prevent any eggs that have been fertilised from successfully implanting onto the wall of the womb.
Lastly, levonorgestrel may prevent the release of an egg from the ovaries, however, this may not occur in all women who take the mini-pill.
Norgeston must be taken continuously, at the same time every day, for it to be effective at preventing pregnancy. If you are more than three hours late taking your pill, you will not be protected against pregnancy. If this happens, you should use an extra barrier method of contraception, eg condoms, for the next two days, while continuing with your normal pill taking.
