Primolut N is a potent hormonal medication specifically engineered to manage a wide range of gynecological disorders related to the menstrual cycle. It contains Norethisterone, a synthetic form of the female hormone progesterone. It works by mimicking the natural action of progesterone to stabilize the lining of the womb (endometrium), preventing it from breaking down and shedding prematurely. This action allows for the precise timing of periods, the cessation of heavy bleeding, and the management of pain associated with hormonal imbalances.

Active Ingredient: Norethisterone (5mg)

Primolut N is a versatile clinical tool for restoring hormonal rhythm:
Period Delay: Temporarily postponing a period for special events (travel, weddings, exams, or sporting events).
Heavy Menstrual Bleeding (Menorrhagia): Stopping or reducing excessively heavy or prolonged periods.
Painful Periods (Dysmenorrhea): Relieving severe cramping during menstruation.
Endometriosis: Treating the growth of womb-like tissue outside the uterus by suppressing the monthly cycle.
Irregular Cycles: Stabilizing the timing of periods in women with hormonal fluctuations.
Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS): Relieving severe mood swings, bloating, or breast tenderness.
Blood Clots (Thrombosis): Like many hormonal treatments, Primolut N slightly increases the risk of blood clots in the legs (DVT) or lungs (PE). Seek emergency care if you experience sudden leg swelling, chest pain, or shortness of breath. Not a Contraceptive: Primolut N is NOT a birth control pill. You can still get pregnant while taking it. Use a non-hormonal barrier method (like condoms) if you wish to avoid pregnancy. Pregnancy: Do NOT use if you are pregnant or suspect you might be, as it can affect fetal development. Liver Health: Use with caution if you have a history of jaundice or liver disease. Smoking: Smoking significantly increases the risk of cardiovascular side effects while on hormones.
For maximum efficacy, Primolut N must be taken at the same time every day to maintain stable hormone levels.
Standard Dosage (Guideline Only):
For Period Delay: Typically one 5mg tablet 3 times daily, starting 3 days before your expected period. Your period will usually start 2–3 days after you stop taking the tablets.
For Heavy Bleeding: Usually 1 tablet 3 times daily for 10 days to stop the bleeding.
Application Tips:
Consistency: Take the tablets with a glass of water, with or without food.
Don't Wait Too Late: For period delay, if you start the tablets less than 3 days before your period is due, it may not work effectively.
Missed Dose: If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember, but do not double up to catch up.
The "Cycle" Rule: Always follow the exact number of days prescribed by your doctor to avoid breakthrough bleeding.
Common side effects include spotting (breakthrough bleeding) between periods, nausea, headache, dizziness, and breast tenderness. Some women may experience minor weight gain or changes in libido. These symptoms usually resolve once the medication is stopped. If you experience a sudden severe headache or vision changes, contact Sanlive Pharmacy or your doctor immediately.
Store in a cool, dry place below 30°C, protected from direct sunlight. Keep the tablets in their original Bayer blister packaging until use to protect them from moisture. Keep out of reach of children.
Q: Can I use it to "Stop" a period that has already started?
A: It can help reduce the flow or shorten the duration if started mid-period, but it is most effective when used to prevent the period from starting or to stop heavy, dysfunctional bleeding.
Q: Is it safe to use "Every Month" for period delay?
A: No. It is intended for occasional use. Using it frequently can disrupt your natural hormonal balance and make your cycles irregular.
Q: Will it affect my "Fertility"?
A: No. Once you stop taking Primolut N, your hormones return to their natural state, and your fertility is not permanently affected.
Q: Can I drink "Alcohol" while taking it?
A: There is no direct interaction, but alcohol can sometimes worsen the side effects of dizziness or nausea.
