What Is Ortho Micronor?
Ortho Micronor® (norethindrone) is a prescription oral contraceptive, also known as a birth control pill. Unlike most birth control pills, this medication does not contain estrogen (it contains only a progestin hormone). As a progestin-only contraceptive (also known as a “mini-pill”), Ortho Micronor is an ideal choice for breastfeeding mothers and other women who should not take estrogens.
