POSTPONING MENSES

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Greetings

Expiry date is until 31st July. Difficult to recommend a drug which have expired even though 20 to 30 days. Since it is a tablet, its doesnt lose its efficacy so soon.

If possible buy a new strip of primolute N and take it well in advance ,ideally 3 to 5 days before expected date. 3 tabs daily, until you want to postpone (max of 15 days)

Hope you are convinced.
