How Should Primolut N Be Taken While Fasting?

Hi, I have been prescribed Primolut Nor 10mg twice a day before 5 days of my period to delay it. How can I use it during the holy month of Ramadan? We are fasting more than 12hrs a day. Can I take the first pill at 3:15 am and the second pill at 7:00pm?? Will it works? Thanks

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi,

Primolut N is a synthetic form of progestin and has a similar action to the female hormone, progesterone. The Dosage is twice a day (12 hours apart) and preferably after food. Taking it on empty stomach could cause certain gastrointestinal symptoms like stomach discomfort, nausea and belching.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
