Brief Answer:
DOSE DEPENDS ON WEIGHT, BETTER TO POSTPONE.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for writing to us with your health concern.
It is not reliable to prepone periods.
This is because after stopping Primolut - N, you might bleed anytime within a week.
So if you stop on the 20th , you might start bleeding on the 21st or on the 27th.
It is much better to delay cycles.
For how long do you wish to delay cycles ?
And what is your weight - dosage depends on weight.
Also, are your cycles regular - when was your last period, and when is the next due - are you talking about December ?
Please write back with these details so that I can get back to you with the right dosage and dates.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Take care.

My weight is 55kgs and my periods are regular. It came on 27th November 2014 last month. I am going on vacation from 23 to 24th December 2014 and I took primolut-N to prepone my periods from 16to 20th December. If there are chances that I will get periods during 23 to 28 December 2014 then I would like to delay it. Please reply asap.

Brief Answer:
BETTER TO DELAY

Detailed Answer:
Yes you would definitely get periods within 23rd to 28th of December, because you stopped on 20th of December.
If you wish to delay periods, continue taking the drug till the 28 th of December.
That way you will menstruate only after that date.
Take care.
Dosage is 1 tablet ( 5 mg) twice a day.

Hi

I would like to ask if I stop taking tablets after 28 December and suppose if I bleed on 29th December then what will be my next cycle for January? Will it follow the new cycle I.e 29 January or previous cycle ( 27 January)?

Also I want to know is there any side effects of taking this tablet because i was already taking them since 5 days and I will continue for next 8days I.e. Till 28th December which makes it total 13 days.

I also want to say that I am undergoing a weight loss program and I am following the diet along with herbs given by doctor which are natural and has no side effects. My question is if herbs and Primolut N taken together will this cause any kind of harm on my body?

Next period would follow the new cycle.
There are no side effects as such , as long as you do not do this repeatedly, and it is very critical to delay periods.
You can continue the herbs.
