Hello,
Nordette(0.15 mg of levonorgestrel & 30 mcg of ethinyl estradiol) white tablet may come as pill pack containing 21 pills with active medication. It may also contain 7 reminder pills with no medication.
Take one active pill (with hormones) once daily for 21 days in a row. If you are using a product with 28 tablets, take an inactive red pill once daily for 7 days in a row after you have taken the last active white pill.
Nordette-28 orange pack consists of 21 light-orange active tablets, each containing 0.15 mg of levonorgestrel & 30 mcg of ethinyl estradiol and 7 pink inert tablets (without hormones).
There is no difference as far the composition of the active pill is concerned. Nordette is not emergency pill like 'Mini pill'.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
