Hi lybrate-user, here are few side effects which may help you understanding the risk or side effects of using primolut-n. Therapy should be discontinued immediately if the following occur: ? new onset of migraine-type headaches or more frequent occurrence of unusually severe headaches ? sudden perceptual disorders (e.g. Disturbances of vision or hearing) ? first signs of thrombophlebitis or thromboembolic symptoms, feeling of pain and tightness in the chest ? pending operations (six weeks beforehand), immobilisation (e.g. After accidents) ? onset of jaundice or deterioration in liver function, anicteric hepatitis, general pruritus ? significant increase in blood pressure ? pregnancy. If any of the conditions/risk factors mentioned below is present or deteriorates while using primolut n, an individual risk-benefit analysis should be done before primolut n is started or continued. ?�circulatory disorders it has been concluded from epidemiological surveys that the use of oral oestrogen/progestogen containing ovulation inhibitors is associated by an increased incidence of thromboembolic diseases. Therefore, one should keep the possibility of an increased thromboembolic risk in mind, particularly where there is a history of thromboembolic diseases. A patient who develops symptoms suggestive of thromboembolic complications should stop treatment immediately. The need for treatment should be reassessed before continuing therapy. Generally recognised risk factors for venous thromboembolism (vte) include: 1. Positive personal or family history (vte in a sibling or a parent at a relatively early age) 2. Age 3. Obesity 4. Systemic lupus erythematous (sle) 5. Prolonged immobilisation 6. Major surgery 7. Major trauma. Its the only side effects you are suffering, consult with physician and ask him to change medicine to another.
