Primolut N is a brand name for Norethisterone, a synthetic progestin hormone. This medication is used for various gynecological purposes, including contraception, treatment of menstrual disorders, and in some cases, as part of breast cancer treatment. Primolut N works by altering the body’s natural hormone levels to regulate the menstrual cycle and prevent pregnancy.

Uses

Primolut N is prescribed for contraception, treatment of menstrual disorders such as irregular or heavy periods, management of endometriosis symptoms, hormone replacement therapy in certain cases, and as an adjunct treatment in specific breast cancer cases.

Benefits

Effective contraception when used as directed
Helps regulate menstrual cycles
Reduces heavy menstrual bleeding
Alleviates symptoms associated with endometriosis
May be beneficial in certain breast cancer treatment regimens

How it works

Norethindrone, the active ingredient in Primolut N, mimics the effects of natural progesterone in the body. It works by altering the lining of the uterus and cervical mucus, making it difficult for sperm to reach an egg and for a fertilized egg to implant. This hormone also helps regulate the menstrual cycle and can reduce excessive bleeding.

Dosage

The dosage of Primolut N varies depending on the condition being treated and individual patient factors. Always follow your healthcare provider’s instructions carefully. Typical dosages may range from 0.35 mg to 5 mg daily, but this can vary significantly based on the specific use case.

Side Effects

Common side effects may include nausea, bloating, breast tenderness, changes in weight, headaches, and mood changes. If these side effects persist or worsen, consult your healthcare provider.

Warning

Primolut N is not suitable for everyone. It should not be used by women who are pregnant, have undiagnosed vaginal bleeding, or have a history of certain cancers or blood clots. This medication may increase the risk of blood clots, especially in smokers over 35 years old. It does not protect against sexually transmitted infections.

Important Information

Inform your healthcare provider about your complete medical history and all medications you are taking before starting Primolut N. Regular check-ups are important while using this medication. If you are using Primolut N for contraception, an additional barrier method is recommended to protect against sexually transmitted infections.
