Sunward Sunolut 5mg Tablet

Sunward Sunolut 5mg Tablet contains Norethisterone 5mg, a synthetic progestogen hormone most commonly used to delay the onset of a menstrual period, for example around important events, travel, exams, or religious observances. It works by maintaining the hormonal environment needed to keep the uterine lining stable, postponing the bleeding that would otherwise occur when the tablet is stopped.

Sunward Sunolut 5mg Tablet is a prescription-only hormonal medicine in Malaysia. Customers purchasing it through DoctorOnCall are required to complete an online consultation so that a doctor can review their medical history, current medications, and any risk factors (such as history of blood clots, migraine with aura, liver disease, or certain hormone-sensitive conditions) before a prescription is issued and the medicine is dispensed.

Norethisterone is a synthetic form of progesterone, the hormone that naturally rises during the second half of the menstrual cycle to maintain the uterine lining. By taking norethisterone continuously, the body is signalled to keep the lining stable rather than shedding it, which delays the period until a few days after the tablets are stopped, at which point withdrawal bleeding typically begins.

Sunward Sunolut 5mg Tablet should be taken exactly as prescribed by your doctor, typically starting 3 days before the period is expected and continuing for as long as the delay is needed, usually up to a maximum of around 2 weeks. Swallow the tablet whole with water, at the same time each day, and do not stop or extend the course without checking with your doctor first, as this is a hormonal medicine that requires correct timing to work as intended.

The typical prescribed dose is one 5mg tablet taken three times a day (every 8 hours), starting 3 days before the anticipated period date and continuing until bleeding can be permitted to occur. The period will usually begin 2 to 3 days after the last tablet is taken. Exact dosing and duration should always follow the prescribing doctor’s specific instructions, as this can vary based on individual cycle patterns and medical history.

Sunward Sunolut 5mg Tablet typically has a shelf life of around 24 to 36 months from the date of manufacture when unopened and stored correctly; always check the expiry date printed on the blister strip or carton and do not use beyond this date.

Store below 30°C in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture, keeping the tablets in their original blister packaging until ready to use. Keep this medicine out of the reach and sight of children.

As a prescription hormonal medicine, Sunward Sunolut 5mg Tablet requires a doctor’s assessment of individual risk factors, including cardiovascular and clotting history, before use, since progestogens can increase clotting risk in susceptible individuals.
