Primolut-N Tablet (norethisterone) can be used to delay periods, but it should only be taken after consulting your doctor. It works by acting like the hormone progesterone, which prevents the uterine lining from shedding. Small amounts may pass into breast milk, but it is generally considered safe for short-term use in breastfeeding mothers. However, it may occasionally reduce milk supply in some women when taken in high doses. Your doctor will prescribe it after carefully assessing the benefits and risks.

Fibroids are non-cancerous growths in the womb that can cause irregular bleeding or spotting. Primolut-N Tablet (norethisterone) is a hormonal treatment that helps control bleeding by stabilising the lining of the womb. In most women, spotting improves within 2 to 5 days of starting the medicine. Sometimes it may take up to one week for the bleeding to settle properly. If there is no clear improvement after a week, you should consult your doctor for further advice. This medicine can also help reduce heavy menstrual bleeding while you are taking it. However, it does not shrink fibroids or permanently cure them. Once the treatment is stopped, bleeding may return if the fibroids are still present. It is important to take the tablet exactly as prescribed and report any very heavy bleeding, dizziness, or worsening symptoms promptly to your doctor.

After stopping Primolut N, withdrawal bleeding usually starts within about 2 to 7 days, but in some women it may take up to 10 days depending on hormone levels, PCOD severity, and individual response. Since you have PCOD, cycle response can be slightly irregular so that timing may vary. If bleeding does not occur after 10 to 14 days, you should consult your gynaecologist for further evaluation.

No, Primolut-N Tablet (Norethisterone) is used to delay a period, not to prepone it. Once you stop taking this medication, your delayed period will start, but it will not make your period come earlier. Speak with your doctor if you need guidance on a safe way to adjust the timing of your menstrual cycle.

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.

Common side effects of Primolut N include unusual vaginal bleeding or spotting, dizziness, dry mouth, constipation, nausea, diarrhoea, headache, breast pain, and tenderness. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention. However, if the side effects persist, please consult your doctor.
