Is Primolut N The Right Medicine To Postpone Periods?
Hello doctor I took primlout n week ago only dor two days to stop my periods. But I took again today as I wanted to delay them for awhile but I got periods after taking primlout n now what to do I want to stop then for 4 days I have some important work to do any suggestions please . I am married and 26 years old
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Yes, Primolut-N is the right medicine to postpone your periods. You need to start taking this tablet 3 days before your period is due.
You continue to take the tablet as long as you don’t want to see your period. Once you stop the tablet, you will see a withdrawal bleed after 4 to 5 days. This can be counted as a period.
From what you have mentioned, I understood that last week you took the tablet for 2 days and then stopped. So today the period that you are seeing is the withdrawal bleed from last week's Primolut-N.
There is no way to stop this bleeding now. Only option is to take the tablet again for next 1 week and it will stop the bleeding. But by then even without taking the tablet, your withdrawal bleed/period would have stopped anyway.
So, unfortunately, you have to go with this period for this month.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Sunita Sayammagaru
