I have fibroids and am experiencing spotting. I am taking Primolut-N Tablet. How long does it usually take for this medicine to stop the spotting, and will it help reduce heavy bleeding?

Asked by Female, 37 · 3 days ago

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.
