4 min read
The Nora-BE brand of medication, containing the active ingredient norethindrone, was a widely used progestin-only oral contraceptive, commonly called a "minipill". While the Nora-BE brand itself has been discontinued in the United States, its generic equivalent, norethindrone, remains a common and effective form of contraception for many women. It is often prescribed for those who cannot tolerate estrogen due to various health concerns, such as high blood pressure or a history of blood clots, and is also safe for use by breastfeeding women.
