Description
Primolut N is a tablet containing norethisterone, a synthetic progestogen used to manage and manipulate the menstrual cycle. It is commonly prescribed to delay menstruation for short-term reasons such as travel, sports, or special events, and is also used for cycle suppression in cases of irregular, heavy, or painful periods.
Primolut N works by maintaining high levels of progestogen in the body, which prevents the hormonal drop that normally triggers menstruation. When the tablets are stopped, hormone levels fall and a withdrawal bleed occurs, similar to a natural period. This mechanism allows users to control when their period starts.
Primolut N is suitable for individuals who prefer a short-term and estrogen-free way to manage their cycles. It is usually started a few days before the expected period and taken for as long as the delay is desired. For medical purposes, it may also be used in longer treatment regimens under under medical supervision.
The tablet is easy to use and well-tolerated by most. It does not provide contraception, so additional protection is needed if avoiding pregnancy is also a concern. Once discontinued, the natural cycle typically resumes quickly.
