Esmya is a medication used to treat symptoms caused by uterine fibroids, such as menstrual bleeding or discomfort and pain in the belly.
This remedy acts on the body by modifying the activity of Progesterone, a female sex hormone that is produced naturally by the body. In this way, Esmya helps to reduce the size of fibroids, as well as stop or reduce the bleeding that usually occurs.
In addition, this medication can also be used in preparation for surgery to remove the fibroid.
How to take
Generally, you should take 1 5 mg tablet daily for treatment periods of up to 3 months each and treatment should be started as early as possible during the second menstrual period after the completion of the previous treatment.
Side effects
Some of Esmya's side effects may include shortening or absence of menstrual period, thickening of the lining of the uterus, headache, dizziness, stomach pain, nausea, acne, muscle pain, tiredness, weight gain, ovarian cyst, pain or breast tenderness or abdominal pain.
Contraindications
Esmya is contraindicated for pregnant women and breastfeeding women, patients with vaginal bleeding that are not caused by uterine fibroids, cancer of the uterus, cervix, ovaries or breast and for patients with allergy to Ulipristal acetate or any of the components of the formula.
