Is It Safe To Take Microgynon And Norethisterone Together?

I have started taking microgynon today (the first day of my period) I want to also take norethisterone to stop my period sooner that it would normally run. can i take both of these pills together and will the microgynon still be effective against pregnancy?

Hello,

It is not recommended to take Norethisterone with Microgynon. If you need to skip the period this month, you can start the next pack of Microgynon back to back, and skip the pill-free days this month.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Lekshmi Rita Venugopal, General & Family Physician
