Overview

Sunward Sunolut 5mg Tablet is supplied as a tablet, with Norethisterone 5mg. It is supplied in a pack size of 10s.

No prescription is required for this product, as it is a non-prescription medicine. This page is limited to product, safety and handling information.

If you would like guidance before buying, you can speak to a doctor or pharmacist through an online consultation on DoctorOnCall. Orders are dispensed by a registered pharmacist and delivered to your address.

Directions for Use

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.

Dosage

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.
