Prevent-N Tablet is used to manage menstrual problems such as heavy or irregular bleeding, premenstrual syndrome (PMS), and painful periods linked to endometriosis. It helps make your menstrual cycle more regular and predictable.
It contains norethisterone, a hormone similar to natural progesterone. Take it as prescribed, at the same time each day. Continue the course for the full duration advised by your doctor, even if your symptoms improve earlier, to help maintain a stable effect on your cycle.
Keeping a record of your periods, including bleeding pattern and any pain, can help your doctor assess how well the medicine is working. Maintaining a balanced diet and regular exercise can also support overall hormonal health.
Before taking this medicine, tell your doctor if you have a history of blood clots, liver disease, breast cancer, or are pregnant or breastfeeding. Report any unusual vaginal bleeding, severe headaches, or leg swelling and pain promptly, as these may need urgent attention.
