Zalkya side effects

Hello,

I have stage 4 severe endo and just come out of recovery from my laparoscopy. My Specialist has pescribed me Zalkya. It’s a new drug, available since 2020 in the UK. I can’t find much on Google regarding side effects and if it’s worth taking. Can anyone provide information on how they found it and if there are common side effects? Thank you.

Hallo! I just did a quick Google and found the leaflet. It’s also known as Dienogest.

Thank you, yes I found this just after I posted! I was hoping for more personal stories and experiences with it. Every body is different but it’s worth knowing if people have suffered with it or found it positive. Thanks again.

Personally, I’d never heard of it, so you can always learn something new!
