Ryeqo medication

[alicat_au]

Is anyone on Ryeqo? I have fibroids and endo and someone suggested this, but reading the product info I'm not too sure.

I have APS and have previously suffered from TIAs. I had a clot in the heart but it dissolved. Thank you.

Hi, this is really a drug that you need to discuss the pros and cons with your specialist team.I had not heard of this drug but have looked up the contraindications and have copied here for you.

"Contraindications include pregnancy and breastfeeding, a history of venous or arterial thromboembolic disorders, thrombophilic disorders, osteoporosis, migraine with aura, hormone-sensitive malignancies, genital bleeding of unknown aetiology, severe hepatic disease and a history of liver tumour"

Hopefully others will come forward with real experiences to give you more openess on the drug.
