Brief Answer:
No worries

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for contacting HCM with your health care concerns

You are concerned that your son swallowed two of your birth control pills. The amount of norethisterone is small and will not affect your child in any way. You have nothing to worry about.

I hope I answered your question. Please contact us again if you have any additional questions
