Do I need a prescription to buy Norcolut 5mg Tablet?

No. Norcolut 5mg Tablet is a non-prescription product and can be ordered without a prescription. It is still dispensed by a registered pharmacist on DoctorOnCall.

What does Norcolut 5mg Tablet contain?

Norcolut 5mg Tablet is a tablet containing Norethisterone 5mg. The full ingredient list is shown in the Composition or Ingredients section on this page and on the product packaging.

What pack sizes does Norcolut 5mg Tablet come in?

It is supplied in pack sizes of 10s and 20s. Choose the pack size you need from the options shown on this page before adding the item to your cart.

Why is there no information here about what Norcolut 5mg Tablet is for?

This page is limited to product, safety and handling information in line with Malaysian rules on medicine information. If you want advice on whether this product suits you, book an online consultation with a doctor or pharmacist on DoctorOnCall.

How should I use Norcolut 5mg Tablet?

Follow the instructions printed on the label and in the leaflet supplied with the pack, and do not exceed the stated amount or duration. Handling steps are set out in the Directions for Use section on this page.

Can I speak to a doctor or pharmacist about Norcolut 5mg Tablet before I buy it?

Yes. DoctorOnCall offers online consultations with licensed doctors and registered pharmacists, so you can ask about this product, your existing medicines, or anything on the label before you place an order.

How should I store Norcolut 5mg Tablet?

Store below 30°C in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture, and keep the tablets in their original packaging until ready for use. Keep out of reach and sight of children. Keep it in its original pack and do not use it after the expiry date printed on the packaging.

What should I do if I notice side effects after using Norcolut 5mg Tablet?

Stop using the product and speak to a doctor or pharmacist about any reaction that concerns you. Seek medical care immediately for signs of a severe reaction such as difficulty breathing, swelling of the face, lips or throat, or a widespread rash. Reported reactions are listed in the Side Effects section on this page.

How long will delivery take?

Within Malaysia, standard delivery takes 3 to 5 working days. Same-day delivery is available in the Klang Valley for orders placed before 12pm; orders placed after 12pm arrive by the end of the next day. Orders to Singapore are sent as international deliveries and take 5 to 9 working days. A lump-sum shipping and handling fee applies to every overseas delivery and is shown at checkout.

What payment methods can I use?

Customers in Malaysia can pay by FPX online banking, credit or debit card (Visa and Mastercard), and supported e-wallets including Touch ‘n Go eWallet, GrabPay and ShopeePay. FPX and local e-wallets are tied to Malaysian bank and wallet accounts, so if your delivery address is in Singapore, use the payment options displayed at checkout for that address rather than assuming the same list applies.

Can Norcolut 5mg Tablet be delivered to Singapore?

Yes. DoctorOnCall ships to Singapore as an international order dispatched from Malaysia, arriving in 5 to 9 working days with a lump-sum shipping and handling fee. Singapore’s Health Sciences Authority (HSA) allows personal imports of up to three months’ supply of a medicine for your own use or an immediate family member’s, as long as it contains no controlled drugs, psychotropic substances or prohibited items. Keep the product in its original labelled packaging and keep a copy of your prescription or doctor’s letter with it. Quantities above three months’ supply, and medicines containing controlled substances, require prior HSA approval.

Is Norcolut 5mg Tablet registered with the authorities?

Products listed on DoctorOnCall are registered with Malaysia’s Ministry of Health for supply in Malaysia, and each pack carries its MAL registration number. An order delivered to Singapore arrives as a personal import of a Malaysia-registered product; HSA product registration is not required for personal-use quantities, but it is also not the same as a product registered for sale in Singapore. If you need a locally registered Singapore product, buy it from a pharmacy in Singapore.

Who do I contact if there is a problem with my order?

DoctorOnCall’s customer care team handles order, delivery and product queries through the contact channels on the site, including WhatsApp and the online help centre. For deliveries to Singapore, allow more time before chasing an order than you would for a local Malaysian delivery, as the parcel passes through customs clearance and tracking updates can appear later in the journey.

How does Escapelle prevent pregnancy?

Escapelle works mainly by stopping or delaying ovulation, the release of an egg from the ovary. If no egg is released while sperm are present, the sperm cannot fertilise one. It is effective only if taken before ovulation happens.

Is Escapelle an abortion pill?

No. Escapelle is emergency contraception, not an abortion pill. It acts before pregnancy begins and does not end a pregnancy. If you are already pregnant, taking Escapelle will not cause a miscarriage.

Does Escapelle have side effects?

Yes, but most are mild and pass within a few days. Common side effects include nausea, lower abdominal pain, headache, dizziness, tiredness, spotting and a change in the timing of your next period.

Can I still get pregnant after taking Escapelle?

Yes, it is possible. Escapelle prevents most, but not all, expected pregnancies, and works best when taken early. The chance of it not working is higher if ovulation has already happened, if you vomit within 3 hours, or if you have unprotected sex again in the same cycle.

How long after sex can I take Escapelle?

Up to 72 hours (3 days). It works best when taken as early as possible within that window.

How do I know if Escapelle worked?

The clearest sign is your next period arriving on time or within a few days of it. If it is more than 5 days late, take a pregnancy test.

Is bleeding after Escapelle normal?

Yes. Spotting or light bleeding in the days after taking it is a common side effect. It does not mean the pill has or has not worked.

Can I take Escapelle more than once in a cycle?

It can be taken again if needed, but it is not intended for repeated use. Frequent use can disrupt your cycle. A regular method of contraception is more effective and more reliable.

Does Escapelle affect future fertility?

No. Escapelle does not affect your ability to get pregnant in future cycles.

Does Escapelle protect against STIs?

No. Only condoms help protect against sexually transmitted infections.
