Primolut N Tablets 5mg

Primolut N Tablets 5mg - Overview

Primolut N Tablets 5mg contain Norethisterone, a synthetic progestin used in the management of various menstrual problems. This medication is highly effective in postponing menstruation and treating conditions like dysmenorrhoea (painful periods), menorrhagia (heavy periods), and endometriosis (a condition where tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside the uterus).

Norethisterone works by mimicking the actions of the natural hormone progesterone, which plays a key role in the menstrual cycle and pregnancy. It helps regulate the menstrual cycle, reduces uterine contractions, and ensures the proper development of the endometrial lining, thus alleviating symptoms of hormonal imbalances.

How Does Primolut N Tablets Work?

Primolut N Tablets 5mg work by influencing the pituitary hormones that regulate ovulation and the production of follicular hormones, helping to prevent ovulation and ensuring the stability of the endometrial lining. This is particularly useful for managing conditions where hormonal fluctuations lead to irregular menstruation or other related issues.

The synthetic progestin in Primolut N helps in:

• Postponing menstruation when necessary.

• Treating painful periods (dysmenorrhoea).

• Managing heavy menstrual bleeding (menorrhagia).

• Alleviating pre-menstrual syndrome and related discomfort.

• Offering support in treating endometriosis.
