General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Norifam is a injectable contraceptive that is effective for 1 month. It contains Norethisterone enanthate 50 mg and estradiol valerate 5 mg.
Just like any contraceptive, it should be injected on the first day of your menstrual period (first day of bleeding). Further, you need to take these injections as scheduled in the subsequent cycles.
In case there is delay in taking injections, it is advisable to use other modes of contraception like condoms & spermicides for the entire cycle, as there is a risk of getting pregnant.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
