Primolut Nor 10 mg 30 Tab
DESCRIPTION
Primolut-Nor 10 mg is an oral endocrine medication formulated with Norethisterone Acetate (10 mg), a synthetic 19-nortestosterone-derived progestin. It exerts powerful progestogenic effects on the endometrium, transforming an estrogen-primed proliferative endometrium into a fully differentiated secretory state. Through negative feedback at the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis, it suppresses the mid-cycle secretion of gonadotropins (luteinizing hormone [LH] and follicle-stimulating hormone [FSH]), arresting ovulation and stabilizing the endometrial stroma to prevent irregular desquamation and dysfunctional uterine bleeding. Upon discontinuation, a predictable progesterone withdrawal bleeding occurs within 2 to 4 days, making it an indispensable therapeutic agent for heavy menstrual bleeding, cycle timing adjustments, and endometriosis management, packaged in a box containing 30 scored tablets (3 blister strips of 10 tablets).
Key Benefits
-
Rapid Hemostasis in Dysfunctional Uterine Bleeding: Swiftly arrests acute anovulatory uterine hemorrhage by transforming and stabilizing fragile, estrogen-stimulated endometrial tissue within 24 to 48 hours.
-
Effective Menstrual Postponement: Postpones the onset of menstruation for travel, pilgrimage, or athletic events by maintaining exogenous progestational support over the endometrial lining.
-
Management of Endometriosis: Induces continuous endometrial stromal decidualization and subsequent atrophy, relieving cyclic pelvic pain and suppressing ectopic endometrial implants.
-
Secondary Amenorrhea & Cycle Regulation: Restores regular cyclical withdrawal bleeds in secondary amenorrhea and oligomenorrhea following appropriate estrogen priming.
-
Symptom Relief in Dysmenorrhea & PMS: Alleviates severe spasmodic menstrual cramps and premenstrual mastalgia and mood fluctuations by suppressing anovulatory hormonal surges.
