Posted on Tue, 20 Feb 2024

Question: hi, i had a c section 9 months back. i have been lactating my baby since then. i started getting my periods since the baby is 6 months old. But they never seem to start on the same. Now due to my travel plans, i had to delay my period for 4 days. so i took Primolut N once today at 12 o clock. 4 Then when i searched online, i found out that this tablet is not suggested during lactation. please help me regarding what can be done now? is it safe to breastfeed my baby? and is it safe to take the tablet?
