Primolut N is a medication that contains the active ingredient Norethisterone, a synthetic form of the hormone progesterone. This hormone is used to treat various menstrual problems such as irregular periods, heavy bleeding, and endometriosis. Primolut N works by mimicking the effects of progesterone in your body, helping to regulate your menstrual cycle and reduce excessive bleeding. It is suitable for women who are experiencing menstrual irregularities due to hormonal imbalances.
