Hi, I have been taking primolut to avoid my period for 10 days. The doctor prescribed it to me ti be taken 10 days before period and to continue taking it after my period is due for more 2 weeks. I noticed I gained weight altgough im eating much less and jogging more.

Will I lose these extra kgs now that I stopped taking primolut?

Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
The most common side effects of primolut ( norethisterone ) are changes in libido, appetite & weight.

Once you get rid of this drug , so your weight will be in actual position after 10 days time , provided that there are no any other cause of weight gain.
Avoid fatty food with sugar . Good luck. Dr. HET
