An Overview of Camila Side Effects
Camila® (norethindrone) is a generic version of
Nor-QD®. As with any medicine, side effects are possible with Camila; however, not all women who use the contraceptive will experience side effects. In fact, most women tolerate it quite well. If side effects do occur, in most cases, they are minor and either require no treatment or can easily be treated by you or your healthcare provider. Often, many of the bothersome side effects of Camila improve (or go away completely) within the first few months of use.
(This article covers many, but not all, of the possible side effects with Camila. Your healthcare provider can discuss a more complete list with you.)
