Hello Joanne

I must admit to having to look this up as it is not a medication I am familiar with. It has left me slightly confused as it can be prescribed for hormonal relief for different conditions.

Are you concerned about the long term side effects of this drug and did you flag this up with your doctor?

I am so sorry I am unable to help you with this problem, but there may be members who can.

I wish you hope and peace.

Hi Hun, you will get better response from another site linked to us- from your my communities drop down go to Endometriosis and the ladies there will have more to offer in the way of experiences and advise..good luck..

Hi joed Lupton is a drug which is given women to treat symptoms of endometriosis (overgrowth of uterine lining outside of the uterus) or uterine fibroids.

As Hidden Says, you would probably get more help and information from the Endo forum.
