Posted on Mon, 16 Jul 2012

Question: is duphaston and primolut nor the same thing as micronor

Answered by Dr. Raju A.T (13 minutes later)

Hi,

Thanks for your query.

Both Primolut N and Micronor have a common ingredient Norethisterone which is a analogue of female sex hormone Progesterone.

Duphaston contains Dyhydrogesterone which also is an analogue of progesterone.

All above medications have similar effects and are used for same indications.

Well, amongst above the better one would be the Duphaston as oral bioavailability is good with it and its an effective drug.

Hope I answered your query.

Wish you good health.

If i have taken the primolut nor and duphaston in the past will the micronor have the same side effects? Or does the micronor have more side effects? Can I expect the same reaction?

Yes the side effect profile all above preparations are similar.There would be no difference as the functions of the ingredients in above three are same.
