Suggest Dosage Of Primolut N For Postponing The Periods
Hi,
My gynecologist prescribed me the following:
Take 1 tablet daily of Primolut Nor 5 days before menstruation date
Then take 2 tablets daily of Primolut Nor until the date I want to get my period
Is this an accurate prescription ? should the dose be 5 mg or 10 mg?

Hello and welcome,
The dose of 5 mg is ok. However the periods usually come within the next 7 days of stopping primolut. So just taking it till the day you want your period may not help to time the period.
It is better to start the tablet 5 days before periods but to escalate the dose from the day of expected regular periods to 2 tablets per day. It may be taken for the next 7 days after which it is best to stop and wait for the next 7 days when periods usually come ( mostly on day 3-4 after stopping the tablets).
Hope this was helpful.
Thanks for using HCM.
Feel free for any further queries.
