Take the packs back-to-back without a break, including during your period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is very important to take the pill at the same time daily. If you are more than 3hrs late, you will not have contraceptive protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow does Norgeston work?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNorgeston is a form of progestogen-only mini pill. Its active ingredient is levonorgestrel, which changes the environment in your womb. This makes it harder for the sperm to reach an egg during ovulation and alters the lining of the womb so that a fertilised egg cannot develop. Norgeston is an effective means of contraception.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow effective is Norgeston?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsed correctly, Norgeston can be up to 99% effective in preventing pregnancy. However, if you are vomiting or have severe diarrhoea you may not be protected against pregnancy. If this happens, continue to take the pill as usual but use a condom whilst you're ill. If this continues for more than 24 hours you should follow the same steps as a missed pill.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you are more than 3 hours late taking it, you will not have contraceptive protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat are the side effects of Norgeston?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost women will not experience any side effects on Norgeston. However, side effects are possible and can include headaches, feeling sick, tummy pain, breast discomfort, acne, and mood changes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor full information on side effects and correct use, see the \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.medicines.org.uk\/emc\/product\/1133\/pil\" target=\"_blank\"\u003epatient information leaflet\u003c\/a\u003e.

Then take the next pill at the normal time. This may mean taking 2 pills in one day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you do not take it within 3 hours of the usual time, you will not be protected against pregnancy. Continue to take your pills as normal, but use a condom for the next 2 days. If you've had unprotected sex during this time, you may need emergency contraception.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"UK Production","offers":[{"title":"3 Months","offer_id":42726830309564,"sku":"3910","price":11.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"6 Months","offer_id":42726830342332,"sku":"3911","price":15.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"12 Months","offer_id":42726830375100,"sku":"3912","price":30.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0611\/1284\/4476\/products\/Norgeston_Contraceptive_pill.jpg?v=1743582816","url":"https:\/\/onlinedoctor.lloydspharmacy.com\/products\/norgeston-contraception","provider":"UK Production","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
