Posology
Not intended for use in children.
_Metropathia haemorrhagica (dysfunctional uterine bleeding): _1 tablet
3 times daily for 10 days. Bleeding
is arrested usually within 1-3 days. A withdrawal bleeding resembling
normal menstruation occurs within
2-4 days after discontinuing treatment. One tablet twice daily from
the 19
th
to the 26
th
day of the two
subsequent cycles should be given to prevent recurrence of the
condition.
To ensure treatment success, Primolut N must be taken for the full 10
days. Occasionally, slight bleeding
may occur after the initial suspension of bleeding. Treatment should
not be interrupted or suspended in
these cases.
If vaginal bleeding does not stop, despite correct tablet intake, an
organic cause or an extra-genital factor
(e.g. polyps, carcinoma of the cervix uteri or endometrium, myoma,
residua of abortion, extra-uterine
pregnancy, or coagulation disorders) must be considered so that other
measures are then mostly required.
This also applies to cases where after an initial suspension of
bleeding, fairly heavy bleeding reoccurs
during tablet intake.
_Premenstrual syndrome (including premenstrual mastalgia):
_Premenstrual symptoms such as headache,
migraine, breast discomfort, water retention, tachycardia, and
psychological disturbances may be relieved
by the administration of 1-3 tablets daily from the 19
th
to the 26
th
day of the cycle. Treatm
