What is a component of progestin-only pills (Mini-pill/POP)?

  1. Errin contains ethinylestradiol

  2. Norethindrone is found in 'Nor' variants like Nora-BE

  3. Slynd contains a combination of drospirenone and norethindrone

  4. All mini-pills contain estrogen

The correct answer is: Norethindrone is found in 'Nor' variants like Nora-BE

Progestin-only pills, or mini-pills, do not contain estrogen. Option A, Errin, contains ethinylestradiol which is a form of estrogen. Option C, Slynd, contains a combination of progestin drospirenone and norethindrone, and thus not a progestin-only pill. Option D is incorrect because as stated before, mini-pills do not contain estrogen. Option B, Nora-BE, contains norethindrone, a type of progestin, making it the correct answer.
