Hi,

Primolut contains Norethisterone which is a derivative of female hormone progesterone. These drugs can be used to postpone periods and also used to reduce excessive bleeding. Yet, the dose and duration of drug use will differ in both conditions. Administering the hormone from outside will inhibit the hormone production in your body thereby reducing any excess hormone levels leading to regularization of your cycles.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
