How it works:
Norlut-N 5 mg Tablet has Norethisterone in it, which is a man-made version of the female hormone progesterone.
It works by controlling how the endometrium grows and sheds and keeping hormone levels stable.
This helps get your periods back on track, cut down on heavy bleeding, and ease premenstrual symptoms.
Faq for medicine:
Q1: What is the purpose of Norlut-N 5 mg Tablet?
It is used to treat problems with periods, like having irregular periods, severe bleeding during periods, premenstrual syndrome (PMS), and to delay periods. It can also be used to treat endometriosis and secondary amenorrhea, which is the absence of periods.
Q2. Can the Norlut-N Tablet stop periods right away?
If you start taking it 3 to 5 days before your period is due, it may delay your period. However, you should follow your doctor's instructions completely.
Q3. Is it possible to use Norlut-N as a kind of birth control?
It is not a birth control pill and should not be used that way unless a doctor says so.
Q4. What will happen if I forget to take a dose?
If you recall, take it right away. If it's almost time for the next dose, skip the one you missed. Don't take twice as much.
Q5. Is it safe for me to use Norlut-N while I am breastfeeding?
While breastfeeding, you shouldn't take it since minute levels of norethisterone may go into breast milk and damage the infant.
