Brief Answer:
Norethindrone effectiveness is not reduced

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,

Welcome to healthcare magic. I understand your concern.

In my opinion, norethindrone and Prozac don't have any drug interactions. So effectiveness of norethindrone will not be decreased by Prozac.

And you might not need to take plan B.

I saw a few patients taking Prozac those on norethindrone and with no decreased efficacy. So you can take it.

I understood from your history that you are using progesterone pill for contraception.

Hope this satisfies your query.

Feel free to ask any more queries.
Best regards...Dr srilatha
