Norethindrone Acetate is the active ingredient in women's birth control “mini-pills” as well as in some standard combination birth control pills. Norethindrone Acetate is a form of progestin, a female hormone. While most birth control pills combine both an estrogen and a progestin, mini-pills only use a progestin, such as Norethindrone Acetate. Taken daily, Norethindrone Acetate prevents ovulation and changes the cervical and uterine linings to prevent sperm movement and fertilized egg attachment. Norethindrone Acetate is also prescribed to women with uterine bleeding or whose periods have stopped because of decreased progestin. On average, the cash price for Norethindrone Acetate is $84.09. A SingleCare Norethindrone Acetate coupon, however, reduces the price to $13.60.

Mini-pills are prescribed to women who are nursing, who smoke or have high blood pressure. Mini-pills are less effective than two-hormone pills—40% of women continue to ovulate on the mini-pill and 3% get pregnant. It is important to use other forms of birth control while on Norethindrone Acetate.
Norethindrone Acetate is also sometimes prescribed to women with uterine bleeding, menopause, or whose periods have stopped.
Common side effects of Norethindrone Acetate include but are not limited to swelling, bloating, nausea, vomiting, stomach cramps, headache, breast tenderness, menstrual changes, and vaginal itching and discharge. Mood changes are common and include depression and trouble sleeping. Allergic reactions to Norethindrone Acetate are extremely rare but include rashes and hives.
