General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

Regestrone and Primolut N are the different brands of the same drug Norethisterone. You can take either to postpone the periods.

It is usually recommended in the dose of 5 mg twice daily (to be taken at the same time of the day) 4-5 day before the next period and continue till you want to postpone the period (maximum 14 days).

After you stop taking the tablets, your period is likely to start after two or three days; however, the time scale may be different for every individual.

You need to consult a gynecologist for the prescription of this medication.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Mohammed Taher Ali
