Nortrel (Cont.)

Nortrel Dosing Information

It is very important to take Nortrel exactly as directed. As always, do not adjust your dose unless your healthcare provider specifically instructs you to do so. If you miss any pills, there are specific instructions that you must follow in order to avoid pregnancy.

Side Effects of Nortrel

As with any medicine, Nortrel can cause side effects. However, not everyone who uses the contraceptive will experience side effects. In fact, most people tolerate it quite well. If side effects do occur, in most cases, they are minor and either require no treatment or are easily treated by you or your healthcare provider. Serious side effects are less common.
 
Common side effects of birth control pills include, but are not limited to:
 
  • Breakthrough bleeding or spotting (between periods)
  • Nausea, with or without vomiting
  • Breast tenderness
  • Acne
  • Headaches.
