What is Penorit Used For? > Indications

Treatment with Penorit should not be carried out until at least 8 weeks have elapsed since the last menstruation and the existence of pregnancy has been ruled out.

Recommended Dosage of Penorit
After excluding the existence of pregnancy, 1 tablet of Penorit is taken with a little fluid on two consecutive days. After 3-6 days on average a menstrual-like bleeding of normal intensity occurs. In some patients 15 days may elapse before bleeding occurs.
If this bleeding does not occur, then further diagnostic and therapeutic are required.
Use of Penorit in Nursing Mothers
Small amounts have been identified in the milk of nursing mothers, and a few side effects on the child have been reported, including jaundice and breast enlargement. In addition, oral contraceptives, given in the postpartum period may interfere with lactation by decreasing the quantity and quality of breast milk.
How Penorit interacts with other Drug?
Reduced efficacy and increased incidence of breakthrough bleeding and menstrual irregularities have been associated with concomitant use of rifampicin.
