The effectiveness of Norkolut® tablets may be reduced if the patient forgets to take the tablet as directed. The patient should only take the last missed tablet as soon as she remembers, and then continue taking the tablets at the usual time the next day.

If contraceptives are necessary, then non-hormonal methods of contraception should be used additionally.

Secondary amenorrhea

Any hormonal therapy for secondary amenorrhea can only be given after pregnancy has been ruled out. In some cases, secondary amenorrhea is due to prolactinoma, which should be excluded before starting the use of Norkolut®.

The doctor prescribes a preparation containing estrogen (for example, within 14 days) before the use of the preparation "Norcolut®" is started. After that, take one tablet of Norkolut® 1-2 times a day for 10 days. Withdrawal bleeding begins a few days after taking the last pill.

When a sufficient level of estrogen production is reached, you can try to stop estrogen therapy and induce cyclic bleeding with one tablet of the preparation "Norcolut®" 2 times a day from the 16th to the 25th day of the cycle.

endometriosis

Treatment should be started between the first and fifth day of the cycle with the use of one tablet of Norkolut® twice a day. In the event of spotting, it is necessary to increase the dose and take two tablets of Norkolut® twice a day. After the bleeding stops, you can reduce the dose to the initial one. The duration of the course of treatment is at least 4-6 months. With continuous daily use of the preparation, ovulation and menstruation are absent. Withdrawal bleeding occurs after hormone therapy is completed.
