Nortrel 0.5/35 is a combination-type birth control medication that uses progestin and estrogen to prevent the release of an egg. This medication also thickens vaginal fluids to further prevent pregnancy. The combination of these two hormones can also reduce your risk of ovarian cysts and help to treat acne.
Nortrel 0.5/35 is not intended for smokers over the age of 35 or women who are breastfeeding. However, our Nurx™ healthcare professionals can help you choose a birth control that is suited to your needs. Our team at Nurx can prescribe Nortrel 0.5/35 at special request, or can offer the generic equivalent Necon 0.5/35 for as low as $0 with insurance or as little as $20 without insurance.
