Hi XXXXXXX

Thanks for the query.

Primolut-N is used as medication to facilitate timing of menstrual periods, treatment for Dysfunctional uterine bleeding, Endometriosis and Secondary amenorrhea.

This is not a contraceptive by itself. It does not prevent pregnancy by itself. You will need to exercise other methods of pregnancy prevention like practicing safe sex by using condom.

This hormone will only help to control uterine bleeding and will also facilitate withdrawal bleed, hence pregnancy must not occur otherwise high chance of miscarriage is expected.

Avoid smoking because this medicine tends to make the blood thick and increase chances of blood clots. This risk is increased if you smoke. Kindly do avoid smoking while on this hormonal medication.

If you only want to prevent pregnancy, use combined oral contraceptive pills. This will help in preventing pregnancy to a high extent. Kindly do discuss with your Doctor for a thorough clinical examination before being started on pills.

I hope I have answered your query. I will be available to answer your follow up queries.

Wishing good health.

Hi XXXXXXX.

Thanks for the reply.

Primolut-N will be needed to help regularize your cycles before you can take Serophene.

You may experience withdrawal bleeding once you are asked to stop Primolut-N. After that you will be started on Serophene for fertility management.

You must continue taking Primolut-N till the day your Doctor has advised. Avoid smoking at all since if you do get pregnant, the fetus is prone to congenital anomalies and chance of miscarriage as well. Please do not smoke. You may consult your Doctor in helping you find it difficult to stop smoking. Avoid caffeine and alcohol during pregnancy as well.

Wishing safe pregnancy.

Hi XXXXXXX.

Thanks for your query.

There is a slightly increased risk of clots being formed after taking the tablet for long term use as in months of use. Smoking cigarettes significantly increases this risk.

There are side effects of this medication. If you have migraine, heart disorders, liver disorders, previous history of blood clots, this medication cannot be taken.

It can commonly cause headache, feeling of bloating, nausea, breast tenderness, abdominal pain etc.

Kindly get a full clinical examination by your Doctor to look for any such problems before you are started on this medication.

I hope I have answered your query.

Wishing good health.
