Hi,
Primolut N is a medication used to delay menstruation. It contains the active ingredient Norethisterone, a synthetic progestogen hormone that can be used to postpone periods. To delay your period until 10th May, you should start taking Primolut N three days before your expected period, which in your case is on 24th April. You should take one tablet three times a day until you want your period to start again.
It's important to note that Primolut N should only be taken for a short period, usually no more than 14 days, and it should not be used as a form of contraception. You should also consult with your doctor before taking any medication, especially if you have any underlying medical conditions or if you are taking any other medications.
It's also important to note that delaying your period may have some side effects such as irregular bleeding, breast tenderness, mood changes, and headaches. These side effects usually go away once you stop taking the medication.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
