Brief Answer:
no
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for your query.
No, primolut is not known to reduce the haemoglobin. Primolut contains Norethisterone which is a progestin hormone analogue, this class of drugs are not known to reduce the hemoglobin directly.
You must be evaluated with investigations to find the cause for drop in the hemoglobin.
Hope, I answered your query.
Wish you good health
