When just getting started, it's important to follow the exact directions that come with Nordette or whatever brand being taken. The key is to decide what time of day to take the pill and then take it at that same time every single day.

Use another form of birth control for the first week of taking the pill. This is because it takes a while for Nordette to start working as the level of hormones build up in the body. Take Nordette with food or right after a meal if it upsets the stomach.

Missed Doses

Missing a dose of Nordette increases the probability of getting pregnant. The more pills missed, the higher the probability will be. Be sure to always have a backup form of birth control ready at all times, just in case a pill is missed. If a pill is missed, follow the directions that came with the prescription.

What If I Take Too Much Nordette?

If following a dosing schedule, there shouldn't be any worries about overdosage. However, if worried about any unexpected symptoms, check with a doctor.

Nordette Storage

Nordette should be stored in the container it came in. Keep it tightly closed, at room temperature and away from heat, light and moisture. Never share this medication with others.
