Uses of Primolut N 5 MG Tablet
- Heavy menstrual bleeding
Heavy menstrual bleeding (also known as menorrhagia) is prolonged menstrual bleeding that lasts for more than 7 days. This can lead to anaemia (reduced red blood cell count leading to weakness) and other health issues. Primolut N 5 MG Tablet will help you prevent episodes of prolonged and heavy bleeding during your menstruation. It works by controlling the effect of progesterone (a hormone that regulates the menstrual cycle). Progesterone slows the growth of your uterus (womb) lining before menstruation, thus reduces your bleeding during menstruation. - Contraception
Contraception is a method to prevent unwanted pregnancy. Primolut N 5 MG Tablet prevents pregnancy by stopping ovulation (the release of an egg from an ovary). It also works by thickening the lining of your cervix (a small passage that connects the vagina and uterus). This prevents the sperm from entering your uterus (womb). - Premenstrual syndrome
A premenstrual syndrome is a group of symptoms that you get before the start of your monthly periods. These symptoms may include anxiety, mood disturbances, water retention, breast pain, etc. Primolut N 5 MG Tablet works by balancing the level of hormones (chemical messengers) that cause these symptoms in your body. - Endometriosis
Endometriosis is a condition in which the lining of your uterus/womb starts to grow abnormally. Its symptoms are pelvic pain, painful periods, excessive bleeding, pain with intercourse, etc. This condition is caused by an imbalance of progesterone hormone (a chemical produced in the body that is responsible for reproduction, menstruation and pregnancy). Primolut N 5 MG Tablet treats this condition by controlling the function of progesterone in your body. Your doctor will prescribe other medications along with Primolut N 5 MG Tablet to help manage endometriosis.
