Buserelin rash

[Elsidee11]

hi all, hope everyone is ok.

QQ, I have started round 3 and am taking Buserelin for the first time - I have a pretty large rash on my stomach which hasn’t gone down and it’s been 4 hours since I injected, infact the rash is now worse.

I always had a small rash with other drugs which usually went after 30mins-1hour. Is this normal to have it for so long and to over a larger area, thank you x

Hey lovelyHave you phoned your clinic? I would ask their advice just to be on safe side if you are worried. I think buseralin gave me red marks on my stomach but just small and localised to where I injected xx

Hope you’re ok ☺️ clinic just phoned and they said if gets worse we might need a plan B 🥹 it’s still there but not as angry, hopefully it’s gone by tonight and I can go again tomorrow! Xx

Hi Elsidee11, I had similar experience but thankfully with each dose the reaction was less and by the end it didn’t bother me at all. Hopefully it’s the same for you. I was also so worried the first day or two. The nurses were happy when I was able to say it was improving and just said to advise if it suddenly got worse at any point 💕

Thank you for sharing, I was quite surprised at how my skin reacted. Fingers crossed it’s just my body getting used to it, like you say 🤞🏼☺️

How is it now? x

[Elsidee11 in reply to TopGuntastic]

It almost cleared up 😊😊 so will see how tomorrow goes. Im on 0.5ml which seems like such a large dosage when in the syringe so maybe it’s just where it spread and my skin is sensitive to it. X

How are you today after your second injection? x

Much better thank you ☺️ I actually don’t really get a rash this time? Very strange! I do feel like I’m already getting low in mood/snappy though 😵‍💫

That’s great the rash isn’t there. I had hoped it would be that way for you. Great news 👍

Hi Elsidee. Time to see if you can have an alternative down regulation drug. Good luck and hope it soon clears up. Diane
