Zoladex and chest pain

[Anexa]

Hi everyone,

I just joined this community and this is my first time posting here. The first time I heard of endometriosis was last year and I was diagnosed with endometriosis late last year.

I was given my first dose of Zoladex 10.8mg and I wasn't giving any drugs to take for the side effects and now I have a severe chest pain, joint pain and headache. Can it be Zoladex side effect ? And what should I do?

Because I've been seeing people say they took tiboline to reduce side effects of Zoladex. And I don't think consultant here in Nigeria have the knowledge of this drugs. I don't know what to do and the pain is getting serious. Thanks in advance for your reply

Hi Anexa

A warm welcome to the forum! It's well worth checking out our website, especially the information on hormone treatments, which will give you further information on Zoladex. Please find the information here: endometriosis-uk.org/hormon...

Add-back hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is sometimes prescribed alongside Zoladex to target specific side effects. I would recommend you speak to your doctor further about this, or seek out an endometriosis specialist.

Wishing you all the best
