What Causes Headache While On Norethindrone Birth Control Pills?
My 16 yo daughter has been on norethindrone birth control for about 2 months due to irregular and heavy mens trail cycles. She has been having headaches daily for about a month and a half now. Headaches have been a rare thing for her and she states they have been since she started the pill. Should I call her prescribing doctor to have her changed?

Hello,
These pills can cause headache and sometimes increase the propensity of causing clots also. Just to be safe you should get her a GP appointment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
