Norifam: What You Need to Know About This Monthly Injectable Contraceptive
Last updated: August 2026
Medical disclaimer: This article is for general information only and isn’t a substitute for medical advice. Talk to your doctor or a licensed family planning provider before starting or stopping any contraceptive method.
Quick answer: Norifam is a combined injectable contraceptive containing norethisterone enanthate and estradiol valerate, given as one intramuscular injection every month. It works similarly to combined birth control pills but is administered as a shot instead, and it requires a proper medical consultation before use since it isn’t right for everyone.
If you’ve searched for Norifam, you’re probably trying to figure out how it works, what to expect, and whether it’s a good fit for you. Here’s an accurate, sourced rundown and a reminder that a licensed doctor or family planning provider is the right person to make this decision with you, not a blog post.
What is Norifam and how does it work?
Direct answer: Norifam is a combined injectable contraceptive (CIC), meaning it contains both an estrogen (estradiol valerate) and a progestogen (norethisterone enanthate), similar to combined birth control pills but delivered as a monthly injection instead of a daily pill.
This puts Norifam in a different category from progestin-only injectables like Depo-Provera. Because it contains estrogen in addition to progestogen, it tends to allow for more regular monthly bleeding, closer to a natural cycle, compared to progestin-only methods, which more commonly cause irregular spotting or no periods at all.
How is Norifam administered?
Direct answer: Norifam is given as one intramuscular injection roughly every 30 days, with your doctor or provider determining the exact schedule and timing of your first dose.
According to the Philippine Family Planning Handbook, combined injectable contraceptives are given monthly and require the same kind of informed counseling as other hormonal methods. Your provider will walk you through the correct timing for your first shot and follow-up doses; this isn’t something to self-schedule based on general advice online.
Is Norifam effective?
Direct answer: Like other combined hormonal contraceptives, Norifam is highly effective when used exactly on schedule, but effectiveness drops with missed or delayed doses, so consistency matters.
Clinical research on this specific formulation (norethisterone enanthate 50 mg plus estradiol valerate 5 mg) has been studied over multi-year trials and found it to be an effective monthly contraceptive option, comparable to other established injectable methods. That said, exact effectiveness rates can vary by individual and by how consistently doses are taken on schedule, which is exactly the kind of detail your doctor can walk you through based on your own health history.
What are the side effects of Norifam?
Direct answer: Possible side effects can include headaches, nausea, breast tenderness, weight changes, mood changes, and changes in menstrual bleeding patterns, similar to what’s seen with combined oral contraceptives.
Any hormonal contraceptive can affect people differently, and side effects that are mild and manageable for one person may not be for another. If you experience severe headaches, chest pain, leg swelling or pain, signs of jaundice, or a significant change in vision while using Norifam, contact your doctor right away, these can be signs of a more serious reaction that needs medical attention.
Who should not use Norifam?
Direct answer: Because Norifam contains estrogen, it generally follows the same precautions as combined birth control pills, meaning it isn’t recommended for women who smoke and are over 35, have uncontrolled high blood pressure, have a history of blood clots, stroke, or heart attack, have certain types of migraines, are fully breastfeeding an infant under 6 months old, or have a history of certain cancers.
This list isn’t exhaustive, and only a doctor reviewing your personal and family medical history can properly determine whether Norifam or any combined hormonal method is safe for you. If you have any of these risk factors, your provider can help you find a non-estrogen option that’s a better fit.
How soon does fertility return after stopping Norifam?
Direct answer: Because Norifam is a monthly method rather than a longer-acting one like the 3-month progestin-only injection, most people can expect their natural cycle and fertility to return relatively quickly after their last dose, though the exact timeline varies from person to person.
If you’re planning a pregnancy soon or are unsure how long to wait after stopping, this is worth discussing directly with your OB-GYN or family planning provider, who can give you guidance based on your specific cycle history rather than a general estimate. Once you do start trying to conceive, it also helps to know what early pregnancy symptoms actually look like so you’re not left guessing in those first few weeks.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Norifam used for? Norifam is a monthly combined injectable contraceptive used to prevent pregnancy. It contains both estrogen and progestogen, given as a single injection roughly every 30 days.
Is Norifam the same as Depo-Provera? No. Depo-Provera is a progestin-only injectable given every 3 months, while Norifam is a combined (estrogen plus progestogen) injectable given monthly. They work differently and have different side effect profiles, particularly around menstrual bleeding patterns.
Does Norifam cause weight gain or affect appearance? Weight changes are a possible side effect of many hormonal contraceptives, including Norifam, and effects vary by individual. Claims about specific cosmetic effects like skin tone or breast size are not supported by clinical evidence and shouldn’t be a basis for choosing a contraceptive method. Talk to your doctor about what to realistically expect.
Do I need a check-up before starting Norifam? Yes. A proper medical and gynecological evaluation is an important step before starting any hormonal contraceptive, including Norifam, so your provider can confirm it’s a safe option for your specific health history.
The bottom line
Norifam is a monthly combined injectable contraceptive that works similarly to combined birth control pills. It can be an effective option for the right person, but because it contains estrogen, it carries the same precautions as combined oral contraceptives and isn’t appropriate for everyone. The right way to decide if it’s right for you is to have a proper consultation with a doctor or licensed family planning provider, not to rely on general information from the internet, as this article does.

Hello po. Norifam user po ako. ..tanong ko lang po. Bkit sa limang buwan ko po nang norifam spotting lang po ako. Tpos mag anim na buwan npo ako ngayong january 12. Na wla npo yong spotting.. Tapos po felling ko parang bntis ako kase palaging humihelab sekmora ko po.. Mai posebelidad po ba. Na bntis ako??
Nbuntis ka sis or hindi?
Hi sis..first time ko nag pa inject ng Norifam, nakalimutan ko na ask sa OB ko kung meron ba bawal? like alcohol or cigarettes?
please advice. 😊 thank you po.
magkano po pa inject ng norifam?
Hi,norifam user din po ako 1st timer.Tanong ko sana kapag ba nag contact oks lang kahit dina withdrawal??? Nakalimutan ko kasing itanong sa ob ko noon. Takot din kasi ako baka masundan agad yung 2nd baby ko. 1yr lng po kasi gap nila nung panganay hihihi
Hi Norifam gamit ko for almost 1yr 17 yrs old ako and minsan hnd na kme nag wiwithdrawal pero apaka effective hnd ako nabubuntis. Basta on time ang pag inject
Hi , nag pa inject po ako ng norifam hindi sa time ng period ko, 2 weeks after ng period ko, tapos after 3 days nakipag sex po ako. May chance ba mabuntis ako? Or safe na po yun?
Hello ma’am! Ang palagi ko pong advice ay magtanong sa OB po kasi hindi po ako medical expert. Pwede pong may chance na mabuntis kayo, pwede din pong wala. Para po makasigurado, sa doctor po tayo magtanong. 🙂 Salamat po!
Naku ma. Ang payo saken ni Doctora . Pag nag pa inject ka kung first time mo or dalay kaylangan 1 week ang pagitan bago kau mag contact dahil matagal ang daloy ng gamot. Pero kung withdrawal nmn ok lang yan!
tanong ko lang po norifam din po ang gamit ko for 3months at nagregular nmn po period ko kaso po this month hnd pa po ako nag mens at ilang beses po kami may contact ng husband ko this month and PCOS patient po ako.. minsan po ba madedelay ang period? thank you po sa advice
Hi po gud pm..tabong lng po ako kc 2 days po ako late sa inject sked ko sa norifam pero ok lng naman dw do wag lng lagpas na 5days di na po pwd..gusto ko lng po mlaman f ok lng po yun pure bf din po ako sa bby ko na 5months na po.
Hi.. same tayo nagpa inject na hindi mens.. musta na po? Regular po bah dalaw ninyo? Kasi sa sakin hindi..
Ok lang po ba Yun nagpa inject ng hindi nag men’s? Base po sa experienced niyo?
kung first time nyo po magpapainject kelangan po 1st or 2nd day ng mens nyo kayo magpainject. Based sa experience ko, hindi po nagiinject sa center kapag mahina na yung mens nyo kasi possible daw po na spotting lang sya. Dapat po yung kalakasan ng mens nyo.
Hi po gud pm..tabong lng po ako kc 2 days po ako late sa inject sked ko sa norifam pero ok lng naman dw do wag lng lagpas na 5days di na po pwd..gusto ko lng po mlaman f ok lng po yun pure bf din po ako sa bby ko na 5months na po.

Hi! May tatanong lang sana, i stopped from using norifam na kasi 1 month ago pa pero hindi pa bumabalik period ko. Is this normal? Or kelan kaya ako dapat mag regla ulit?
Hi po. 1st shot ko was last sept. 27 pa, this oct. 27 ang balik ko for the 2nd shot, im an exclusive breastfeeding mom po pala, and until now marami pa kong BM. sabi ksi nila, di daw safe ang breastfeeding pag nka-shot ka na ng norifam ksi its not advisable daw for mom like me. Nakakatuyo daw ng BM. bakit po ung BM ko palakas pa rin ng palakas and continues breastfeeding po ako. .
I-stop ko na ba pag-bf or not? 7mos na po Pala si LO ko,.
Waiting for your reply po
Tia, Godbless

Hi! sharing my experience with norifam.. Seaman c hubby so i only get my shot syempre every uwi niya, i usually had it a week or two before his arrival, am also a breastfeeding mom.. to tell you, ok na man yung effect sa akin nang norifam, nireregla lang ako if i get a shot (i think its normal kasi i’m BF ) pag bumalik na c hubby sa work, stop din ako ky norifam, (4 mos c hubby sa barko) at sa 4 mos na yun, i had my period on the first month, tapos wla na sa succeeding months until i get a shot again. i hope this helps.^^ (personal opinion: mas maganda pa rin ang natural family planning kung side effects ang gustong iwasan natin.) laban alng mga momshies..^_^

ung biglaang pagtigil sa norifam can cause irregularity sa menstruation. as per experience po. rook two months bago nagnormal ulit. but as long as full time breastfeeding ka. less likely that you are pregnant. but best still to consult your obgyne
.hi po ask q lng po kng sn nkakabli ng norifam??kc ng ask aq s botika…ala po..
..tank u po
i dont think they sell norifam in pharmacies or over the counter for injection must be done under the advise of and by your obgyne kasi ioobserve ka pa nya sa side effects. kung hiyang mo or its not for you.

Hi po! Ask ko lng sna if there is any possibilities na mabuntis agad kc dpt 17 ang next dose ko ng norifam. But then nwala na sa isip ko dhil sa sobrng busy, then bago bumalik c hub sa work my nangyari sa’men. At least 2 weeks din after the said sked ng dose ko po sana.
Hello, been using this norifam for 2 times, the first shot was good, napakaganda ng flow ng period ko. Then took the 2nd shot, after 2mos di na ako dinatnan. Tested 4 home preg test. Yung 2 ay faint positive yung dalwa naman ay negative, so i went back to my ob, chineck nya ako through ie, and wala nman daw, she also tested me again for pt and it was negative, so i requested for an ultrasound pero sabi nya no need na daw, so she again injected me norifam, and wait for me period again to come and go back to her as she intructed. Ngayon po, nagkakaroon ako ng pelvic pain and back pain, so as feeling nauseous, i have a feeling na baka buntis ako, and im worried kasi nainjectan po ako ng norifam. Should i go for a second opinion to other obgyne? Or effect ng norifam sa akin? Best advice please. Thank you po.
Hi Apple,
If you are not comfortable sa answer ng doctor mo, you can always have a second opinion naman. You can insist din na magpa-ultrasound since it is your body. Maybe side effects lang ng Norifam yung mga nararamdaman mo? Let me know the result if ever you’ve decided to get a second opinion. 🙂
hi po. We got contact on my 2nd day of period tapos sinabi sya skin sa nputok nya sa loob. It’s safe nman db? And ngpa.shot ako ng norifam
Ako din norifam gamit q last shot ko is sep. 25 2018 then nag stop nko til now jan 2019 wala parin mens ko anu po dapat gawin

Buntis po ba ako o side effect lang to ng injectable at delayed ako. Napaparanoid na po ako ayaw ko pa pong masundan ang panganay ko. Please sana po ma bigyan m ako ng advice. Thank u.
Hi sis usually binibigay si Norifam at the first day ng menstruation to ensure na hndi ka buntis, maari kasing ngng dhilan ng pgka delay mo is since hndi ka nagpa inject ng 1st day ng mens mo, ang tendency naiba ang cycle ng menstruation mo. And yun bleeding na snsabi mo is yun ang breakthrough bleeding yun kasi ang effect ni norifam after mo ma injectan pwede g mapaaga ang bleeding mo, pero normal lang yun, kaya ngkaka breakthrough bleeding is to make sure na ma balance ni norifam ang hormones sa katawan mo dahil kung pills user kayo usually progestin lng ang hormones sa katawan nyo. And ang protocol tlaga before using norifam you need to take pregnancy test po.
Hi po just want to ask for help, benn using depo po since oct.2017 then I changed po into norifam netong april2019, april10 to be exact po then may4-7 nagspotting po ako, dipo ako nainstruct na bumalik habang may period so ako po ay bumalik ng may10 pero nagpt po muna ako and negative result. I was instructed then na bumalik 2nd day ng mens ko for my 3rd shot pero june10 na wala pa po ako bleeding, june8 nagpt po ako and negative. Ininject po ako ng june10 and I was adviced to have a ultrasound before july10 if wala pa din bleeding.
Hi po nagstart ako nto ng oct. Pero nag mens po ako once lang ng nov. Tas parang spotting nlng ng dec. Tas hanggang ngaun po wala pdn ako mens. Ok lng po b un? Tnx
hi! ive been on norifam for 3 years now.
bukod sa hiyang sya sakin, malakas akong kumain pero di ako tumataba.
tsaka yun nga lang, i always have these pimples, i mean big ones lalo na kapag katuturok ko lang…
ganun po ba talaga yun?
at ang pinakamahirap sa norifam, e hindi ito availble kung saan-saan lang, pahirapan humanap nito
hahahaha. pero, super love ko itong NORIFAM 🙂 yay!
Yes po. Hindi po available palagi ang Norifam. DMPA po ang usually meron sa mga clinic and health centers, yung pang 3 months. Iba-iba po ang side effects ng Norifam.
Normal lang po kaya?
Tagal na po kasi ako sa 3months ang gamit den bgla ako lumipat now sa norifam. Since aftr inject ko ang naramdaman ko po is sumasakit puson ko then bgla din po naging sensitive si nipple ko (full bf mom po ko) sakit po nya kapag pinapadede. Normal lang po kaya un dahil user ako ng norifam ngayon?
hi ms.phoebe…ask ko lang po if may alam po kayo kung saan po pwede mag pa inject ng norifam sa manila…wala pa kasi sa health centers po kasi…ung 3months lang po ung meron sila…
Hi Jia, sorry hindi ko din alam e. 🙁
Available ang norifam on drug store, you can buy and pa inject ka nalang sa centers or any kakilala na marunong mag-inject like friends na nurses or any other. I am a norifam user and husband ko nga lang ang nag-iinject sa akin kasi tinatamad na ako pumunta sa clinic para magpa inject..
