Orilissa: new endometriosis drug approved in USA - serious side effects

[Ash66]

Just came across this on GRAZIA UK, thought it made for an interesting read especially if you’re as clueless as me about what (if any) drugs are out there purely for endo

An article about this came up on my Facebook feed through one of the endo Facebook pages I follow. From reading the article then some of the comments, it's basically just the lupron injection in pill form, and can potentially only be taken for a few months. As with any treatment, it works for some and not for others, but some women are quite vehement about it not being that good a thing, partly due to side effects I think.

That said, I haven't really looked into it in much detail as I haven't had time to.

Oh I had no idea either! I need to look up Lupron now. So sad there’s not much research into women’s health / endo

I have been offered this in the US. The side effects sound so awful I said no.
