Hi,

Thanks for your query.

Both Primolut N and Micronor have a common ingredient Norethisterone which is a analogue of female sex hormone Progesterone.

Duphaston contains Dyhydrogesterone which also is an analogue of progesterone.

All above medications have similar effects and are used for same indications.

Well, amongst above the better one would be the Duphaston as oral bioavailability is good with it and its an effective drug.

Hope I answered your query.

Wish you good health.

If i have taken the primolut nor and duphaston in the past will the micronor have the same side effects? Or does the micronor have more side effects? Can I expect the same reaction?
