Primolut-N Tablet (Norethisterone) may cause side effects such as unusual vaginal bleeding or spotting, breast pain or tenderness, dizziness, dry mouth, constipation, nausea, diarrhoea, and headache. Most of these side effects are mild and usually do not require medical attention. However, if any of these side effects persist or worsen, inform your doctor immediately.

Primolut-N Tablet contains norethisterone, a synthetic form of the hormone progesterone, used to regulate menstrual cycles, manage missed or irregular periods, and treat certain hormonal conditions. It works by restoring hormonal balance and supporting normal menstrual bleeding. Common side effects may include mild headache, nausea, breast tenderness, bloating, mood changes, or light spotting, which usually settle as the body adjusts. Rarely, more serious effects such as leg pain or swelling, chest pain, severe headache, shortness of breath, or allergic reactions may occur, and these require immediate medical attention. The medicine should not be used during pregnancy or by individuals with liver disorders, unexplained vaginal bleeding, or a history of blood clots. It must be taken only under medical supervision, and if irregular periods persist after treatment, further evaluation for underlying causes such as hormonal imbalance, thyroid problems, or polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is advised.

Primolut‑N is a prescription medication and should only be taken under a doctor’s advice. If it is taken after your period has already started, it can disturb the natural cycle and cause changes such as lighter bleeding, irregular spotting, or temporary disruption of flow. These effects are known with hormonal medicines, but the exact response varies from person to person. Consult a gynaecologist promptly to confirm whether you should continue, adjust, or discontinue the medicine.

The absence of periods for many years after childbirth is called secondary amenorrhea. It can result from hormonal imbalances, thyroid or pituitary disorders, ovarian dysfunction, or uterine issues. Since your periods have not returned for over 10 years, it is essential to consult a gynaecologist or endocrinologist, who may perform blood tests, hormonal evaluation, and imaging to determine the cause and suggest appropriate treatment. Long-term amenorrhea should not be ignored, as timely evaluation ensures proper care and rules out underlying health problems.

Primolut-N Tablet (Norethisterone) is generally safe for delaying your period for a few days when taken exactly as directed by your doctor. You may experience common side effects such as nausea, diarrhoea, dizziness, headache, breast pain or tenderness, unusual vaginal bleeding or spotting, dry mouth, constipation, and mood changes, which usually resolve once you finish the course of tablets. Please consult your doctor to ensure it is safe for you and to receive the correct instructions for postponing your period.

Heavy or prolonged bleeding from fibroids can vary depending on the size, location, and number of fibroids, as well as your overall health. There is no single medicine suitable for everyone, so it is advised to consult a doctor for proper diagnosis and appropriate treatment to control bleeding and prevent complications such as anaemia.
