It is generally not recommended to take Primolut-N Tablet or similar hormonal medications to delay periods while breastfeeding without consulting a doctor first.
Primolut-N contains norethisterone, a hormone that can affect milk production and may pass into breast milk. Its safety during breastfeeding is not well established, so a doctor must evaluate the risks and benefits before prescribing it.
Consult a gynecologist to discuss your desire to delay periods and breastfeeding status for personalized advice and safe treatment options.
If you want, I can explain how hormonal medications might affect breastfeeding in more detail.
