Ortho-Micronor is a Progesterone Only Pill (POP) (oral contraceptive pill, OCP, birth control medication, birth control pills). It prevents pregnancy by thickening the cervical mucus which blocks the sperm from getting into the uterus and getting to the egg and by thinning the uterine lining (endometrium) such that if the egg/sperm hook up, there’s nowhere to stick and grow.
POPs are prescribed to women who: have migraines with aura, are breastfeeding, have high blood pressure, are taking blood pressure medications, can’t take estrogen for high blood pressure or other risks of blood clots.
Some women may experience weight gain when taking Ortho-Micronor, and other birth control pills. While there’s a chance that the hormones can give you the munchies, it’s mostly water retention (and not actual fat).
Every prescription comes with a tiny risk of allergies, including with Ortho-Micronor. The symptoms are usually mild and include: rashes, itching, dizziness. A severe allergic reaction would be: trouble breathing, and swollen lips, throat, or tongue. If this happens, call 911! Depending on your medical history, hormone-based birth control may not be for you. It’s important to discuss your medical history with your physician or one of our helpful Pandia Health Patient Care Advisors before you get started on Ortho-Micronor, especially if you’ve health problems such as cancer, heart disease, blood clots, uncontrolled diabetes, or high blood pressure.
As with any new prescription, you should go over anything you’re already taking with your doctor or Pandia Health Care Advisor before starting on Ortho-Micronor. This includes recreational drugs, over-the-counter meds, and even herbal supplements. Even something that seems relatively harmless such as St. John’s wort can cause Ortho-Micronor to be less effective at preventing pregnancy. There are certain meds you should absolutely bring up. These are aromatase inhibitors, cancer, HIV, seizure, and chronic hepatitis C medications.
If you choose to pay out-of-pocket, Ortho-Micronor is a brand name so it’s quite pricey, being $105/pack. You can also save money by choosing one of several other Ortho-Micronor generics such as Norethindrone or Errin for $20/pack. Generics have the SAME active ingredients and dosage as the name brand. Watch our video explaining generics vs. brand birth control pills.
No, on Ortho-Micronor or Progesterone Only Pills some women have lighter periods, others stop bleeding completely, and others have no changes in their period flow. The medication has 28 tablets.

I definitely would recommend them to anyone who is interested in getting on birth control."
