Hello dear,
Understand your concern.
Yes you can take primolut N for post pone period

Primolut contain norethesteron that help in delayed menstruation period.

You should take primolut N 5 mg two times a day, 7-8 days before regular menstrual bleeding date.
You can take maximum up to 14 days
When you stops the pill, period will come in next 2-3 days

But also note the side effects of primolut:
Following are common side effects:
headaches, nausea, irregular bleeding,
fluid retention, dizziness,
weight gain and depressed mood,
either sleepiness or insomnia,
bloating, a decreased or increased sex drive,
discomfort of the breasts.

But you shod discontinue or consult gynecologist if you have following side effects:
1.Migraine/ headaches or more frequent occurrence of unusually severe headaches;
2.signs of thrombophlebitis or thromboembolic symptoms like unusual pains in, or swelling of, the legs, stabbing pains on breathing or coughing , a feeling of pain and tightness in the chest.
3. onset of jaundice or generalised pruritus
4. significant rise in blood pressure;


Hope this may help you.
Have a safe and happy journey.

All the best
