Norgeston is a contraceptive pill that contains the synthetic progesterone levonorgestrel. It’s known as a mini pill or progesterone only ‘pop’ pill because it doesn’t contain the oestrogen found in combined contraceptive pills, the patch or the vaginal ring.
Norgeston is over 99% effective when taken correctly and it can be used as a long term contraceptive to protect against pregnancy.
Benefits of Norgeston
Norgeston is an easily reversible mini pill with a high effectiveness rate. It doesn’t interrupt sex as barrier methods do, and begins to work quickly.
Alongside its contraceptive benefits Norgeston can help manage hormone induced acne and reduce the effects of PMS in some women by lightening flow and regulating periods.
Norgeston may also help women struggling with the symptoms of endometriosis and polycystic ovary syndrome as it reduces the amount of endometrium. Some women will not experience a regular period on Norgeston.
Because Norgeston does not contain oestrogen it can be used by women who are sensitive to oestrogen based contraceptives.
