Hi,

Primolut-N is a progesterone containing contraceptive has a side effect for weight gain. You can manage the gain by restricting carbohydrates in diet, have sufficient proteins and complete your intake with ample of salads, vegetables and restricted fruits that are not sweet. Eat fruits with skins (when possible, no juices please). Regular 40 minutes exercises in a day and active lifestyle. No need of medicines for weight loss. Weight would come back to normal after stopping the pills but only with healthy life style.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
