Primolut-N

Product Overview

Primolut-N is a hormonal medication containing the active compound Norethisterone. As a synthetic progestin, it mimics the effects of natural progesterone in the body. Marketed in tablet form, this prescription medication is primarily used to address gynecological concerns such as menstrual irregularities, endometriosis, and premenstrual syndrome (PMS). By regulating hormonal activity, Primolut-N helps normalize menstrual cycles and control abnormal uterine bleeding.

Uses

This medication is prescribed for multiple gynecological indications, including:
– Regulation of irregular menstrual cycles
– Management of excessive menstrual bleeding (menorrhagia)
– Treatment of painful menstruation (dysmenorrhea)
– Control of endometriosis symptoms (abnormal uterine tissue growth)
– Alleviation of premenstrual syndrome symptoms (mood changes, physical discomfort)

How to Use

Primolut-N tablets should be taken orally with water, following the exact schedule prescribed by your healthcare provider. Treatment typically begins on a specific day of your menstrual cycle and continues for a defined period (usually 5-20 days). Dosage varies according to the treated condition and individual response. Never adjust your dosage without medical consultation.

How it Works

– Regulates endometrial development
– Stabilizes menstrual cycles
– Reduces abnormal uterine bleeding
– Suppresses ectopic endometrial growth (in endometriosis)
– Provides contraceptive effects when used appropriately

Standard dosage guidelines:
– Menstrual disorders: Typically 5-10 mg daily for 5-10 days
