ERRIN  (NORETHINDRONE):  This medication is used to prevent pregnancy. It is often referred to as the "mini-pill" because it does not contain any estrogen. Norethindrone (a form of progestin) is a hormone that prevents pregnancy by making vaginal fluid thicker to help prevent sperm from reaching an egg (fertilization) and changing the lining of the uterus (womb) to prevent attachment of a fertilized egg. If a fertilized egg does not attach to the uterus, it passes out of the body. This medication also stops the release of an egg (ovulation) in about half of a woman's menstrual cycles. While the "mini-pill" is more effective than certain other methods of birth control (such as condoms, cervical cap, diaphragm), it is less effective than combination hormone (estrogen and progestin) birth control because it does not consistently prevent ovulation. It is usually used by women who cannot take estrogen. To reduce the risk of pregnancy, it is very important to take this medication exactly as prescribed. Using this medication does not protect you or your partner against sexually transmitted diseases (such as HIV, gonorrhea, chlamydia).   FDA Approval Date: 2002-10-21 (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

 3  Prevent pregnancy Bloating, stomach cramping Great results for the first couple years. No pregnancy. Must take at the same time daily. There's a three hour window. If you take the next pill more than 3 hours late. I would have break thru bleeding or my cycle wound start early if I took it more than 3 hrs late. Great pill if you can remember to take it.

 1  Dysfunctional Uterine Bleeding Rage, anxiety, shakiness, rapid heart rate, confusion, brain fog, extreme sadness, moody, irritable. Induced heavier bleeding. Opposite of what it was SUPPOSSED to do. Stopped taking it immediately. I’d rather live with heavy bleeding than mental illness caused by this drug. It was so scary. I’ve been off of it only two days and I still have anxiety. Hope it goes away and I didn’t do permanent damage. Don’t trust big pharm or the doctors. Trust what your body is telling you. I even had to pull the car over one day and I started sobbing out of the blue uncontrollably I felt like I was going crazy. My moods have never been like that I’ve never had any mental problems my entire life. My brain didn’t know what to do with the synthetic hormone my body reacted to this drug like it was poison trying to figure out what to do with it. Don’t take it F 41 14 days
