Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I took one Primolut N 5 mg this morning to delay my periods and then immediately realized that my periods have already started. What should I do now?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

You can stop Primolut N (Norethisterone) and nothing else is needed.

Patient's Query

Thank you doctor,

Will that one tablet affect my periods in any way? My concern is that I am going to travel after four days from today and I want my periods to be over by then.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

Only one tablet will not show any effect on your periods. Your periods will stop as usual. If your period used to last for four days, then it will last for the same duration this time too.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
