Question : Hi
Does taking Primolut N permanently shift my menstruation cycle? I took Primolut N for 4 days preceding my previous menstruation, and it occurred 4 days later than normal (I am very regular). My question is, should I expect my next menstruation to also be pushed back by 4 days (I have stopped taking the drug) or should I expect it to happen on my normal date?

Brief Answer:
Can get delayed.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for posting your query.

The hormone imbalance induced by using Primolut N can cause a cycle disturbance in the next month also, though it is not mandatory. You can expect a delayed onset in the next cycle also. Please do not worry, this will get back to normal.

Hope I have clarified your query. Please feel free to contact for further information. I will be happy to help.

regards,
Shanti.V.
