Nora Be 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.

Nora Be is unlikely to cause weight gain. Some women actually lose weight because Nora Be birth control can have a mild diuretic effect, although any weight lost is typically retained water and not actually body fat.
One of our Patient Care Advisors or licensed physicians will always review the medications and supplements you’re currently taking before prescribing Nora Be. Certain drugs (recreational, over-the-counter, or prescription) can interact with Nora Be and make it less effective at preventing pregnancy. Drugs that may interact with Nora Be include HIV drugs, anti-seizure drugs, antibiotics, and even herbal supplements like St. John’s wort.
Women who have high blood pressure or take medications to control blood pressure should not take Nora Be. Our Pandia Health medical team recommends other options including progestin-only pill (POPs), IUDs with hormone (Mirena, Liletta, Kyleena, Skyla), copper IUDs, implants (nexplanon), the birth control shot (depo-provera), or condoms and spermicide.
If you have certain health conditions like chronic kidney disease, liver disease, or Addison’s disease, you shouldn’t use Nora Be, or its equivalents.
Hormone-based birth control like Nora Be might not be right for you depending on your medical history. If you have a history of cancer, heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, or other medical conditions, let one of our Patient Care Advisors know. We’ll help you select a good alternative.
