Posted on Wed, 23 Dec 2015
Question: Hii...

My menstrual cycle is due in about 1-2 days. I wish to delay my periods due to some family ritual.
I am currently on cefolac xl 200 and paracetamol for viral fever.
Can I take Primolut N with this to postpone my periods till 6th dec. As i want to use it for a short period only will it have any side effect?
My periods are regular and I occassionally suffer from bronchital asthma and tachycardia

Thanks
doctor

Can you please confirm the dosage.
And after how many days will my menstruation start after stopping the tablet. I just need to postpone it for 2 days.

I am currently travelling and have no access to doctor visit.
