Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Regestrone contains Norethindrone. Primolut N contains Norethisterone. Both the tablets can be used to normalize menstrual periods.You can use either of the tablet for delay in periods.
However, before using it, confirm that the delay in periods is not caused due to pregnancy by getting a urine pregnancy test done.
Wish you all the best.
