Hi & Welcome.
Incomplete data like dose of Primolut-N
The common side effects of Primolut-N (Norethisterone) include changes in menstrual bleeding, headache (migraine), and weight gain due to retention of fluid in the body tissues causing swelling (oedema).
So, you seem to have developed side effects following the use of Primolut-N.
Reduce your dietary salt intake and consult your gynecologist for an alternate but a safer medication or to reduce the dose of Primolut-N to regularize your menstrual cycles.
Hope this helps.
