What Is Primolut-N?
Primolut-N is a hormonal medication containing Norethisterone (Norethindrone) 5 mg, manufactured by Bayer — one of the world’s largest pharmaceutical companies. It is primarily used to delay periods, treat irregular menstruation, endometriosis, and abnormal uterine bleeding.
Norethisterone is a synthetic progestogen (progesterone analog) that mimics the effects of the natural hormone progesterone. By maintaining elevated progesterone levels, Primolut-N prevents the uterine lining from shedding, which delays or regulates menstruation.
Uses of Primolut-N
| Condition | How Primolut-N Helps | Standaard dosering |
|---|---|---|
| Period delay | Prevents uterine lining shedding to postpone menstruation for travel, events, or holidays | 5 mg 3× daily, starting 3 days before expected period |
| Irregular periods | Regulates the menstrual cycle by establishing predictable withdrawal bleeds | 5 mg 1–2× daily for days 19–26 of the cycle |
| Heavy menstrual bleeding (menorrhagia) | Reduces excessive blood loss by stabilizing the uterine lining | 5 mg 3× daily for 10 days to stop acute bleeding |
| Endometriose | Suppresses endometrial tissue growth, reducing pain and lesion progression | 5 mg 2–3× daily continuously for 4–6 months |
| Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) | Alleviates PMS symptoms by stabilizing hormonal fluctuations | 5 mg 2–3× daily during the luteal phase |
| Dysfunctional uterine bleeding | Stops abnormal bleeding unrelated to structural causes | As prescribed by a doctor |
How to Use Primolut-N to Delay Your Period
This is the most common use. Follow these steps:
- Start taking Primolut-N 3 days before your period is expected to begin.
- Neem one 5 mg tablet three times daily (morning, afternoon, evening) with water.
- Continue taking the tablets for as long as you want to delay your period (up to 10–14 days is generally considered safe).
- Your period will start 2–3 days after you stop taking the tablets.
Belangrijk: Primolut-N is NOT a contraceptive. It will not prevent pregnancy. You must use separate contraception if needed.
How Primolut-N Works
Norethisterone is a synthetic progestogen that binds to progesterone receptors in the uterus. During a normal menstrual cycle, progesterone levels rise after ovulation to maintain the uterine lining. When progesterone drops (if pregnancy doesn’t occur), the lining sheds — this is your period.
By taking Primolut-N, you artificially maintain high progesterone levels, which keeps the uterine lining intact and delays menstruation. When you stop taking the tablets, progesterone levels fall and a withdrawal bleed (period) occurs within 2–3 days.
Bijwerkingen

- Hoofdpijn
- Misselijkheid
- Breast tenderness
- Bloating and water retention
- Mood changes
- Spotting or breakthrough bleeding

Uncommon but Serious
- Blood clots (DVT/PE) — Norethisterone is converted to ethinylestradiol in the body, slightly increasing clot risk. Seek immediate medical attention for sudden leg pain/swelling, chest pain, or breathlessness.

- Severe headache or migraine with aura — Stop immediately and consult a doctor.
