Brief Answer:
Primolut can be used avoiding feed times.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for sharing your health concern with us.

Any medication is used only if absolutely necessary during pregnancy and lactation. Since you are in need of postponement of your cycle, you can use the medication but avoid feeding times.

Please make sure you consume the pill soon after a feed to allow sufficient time, at least three hours, before the next feed. This will reduce the amount of drug secreted into the breast milk.

Hope this helps. Please let me know if I can assist you further.

regards,
Shanti.V.
