I’ve been taking 200g Nariparib since November. Before my OC diagnosis I suffered from migraines but they have got much much worse since I started taking Nariparib. Has anyone else had the same problem. I don’t really want to reduce my dose but the headaches are unbearable and are happening much more often….

Hi I’d check my BP. This medication can cause hypertension and a symptom of that can be headaches as I found. Wasn’t a big problem after my initial panick! Started on an anti hypertensive and carried on with the Nirsparib. X
