Brief Answer:
Yes, she can take primolut-N.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for writing to us about it.

I can understand your concern, though.

Yes, she can take primolut-N for postponement of her menstruation.

Primolut-N can be taken 2-3 days before expected period date in a dosage of 5 mg twice daily (after consulting your treating physician because it is a prescription drug) and continue till the date do not want period.

The period will resume in 2-3 days after stopping the medication.

But in her case one problem is there as she had I-pill last week may be her menses will not resume within time because I-pill contain high dosages of hormone in it and it may change her period date.

So she should take primolut-n accordingly.

Hope it is useful, feel free to ask more.

Good luck.
Regards
Dr.Richa
