Does Intake Of Primolut N Cause Breathing Problems And Severe Body Pain?

Hi there, I have the implanon rod in my arm and I was prescribed primolut to help with the excessive bleeding, but 3 days after I started taking it I started having breathing problems and also severe pains all through my body. And I am on my 8th day taking it. Is this normal and if I stop taking it how long will it take for my body to go back to normal

Hello dear
Understand your concern.
Primolut N contain norethisterone 5 mg, that is hormonal product that increased risk of thrombosis.

Following are common side effects:
headaches, nausea, irregular bleeding,
fluid retention, dizziness,
weight gain and depressed mood,
either sleepiness or insomnia,
bloating, a decreased or increased sex drive,
discomfort of the breasts.

But you shod discontinue or consult gynecologist if you have following side effects:
1.Migraine/ headaches or more frequent occurrence of unusually severe headaches;
2.signs of thrombophlebitis or thromboembolic symptoms like unusual pains in, or swelling of, the legs, stabbing pains on breathing or coughing , a feeling of pain and tightness in the chest.
3. onset of jaundice or generalised pruritus
4. significant rise in blood pressure;

So I think you have to stop if you are feel severe pain as described above and consult the gynecologist.

Hope this may help you.
Best regards
Dr. Sagar
