Information About Norgestrel

Norgestrel is a synthetic progestogen used as a progestogen-only oral contraceptive pill in Singapore. Available as a 30mcg oral tablet taken continuously once daily at the same time each day, it is HSA-registered and available on prescription only in Singapore. Unlike desogestrel-based progestogen-only pills with a 12-hour window, norgestrel has a strict three-hour missed-pill window — a dose taken more than three hours late requires seven days of additional contraceptive precautions. A valid doctor's consultation is required before dispensing. Order Norgestrel online at DoctorOnCall Singapore with same-day delivery available.
