Yuliprist Tablet
Prescription Required
Product introduction
Yuliprist Tablet is a medicine used to treat uterine fibroids (a non-cancerous growth in the uterus) in premenopausal women who cannot undergo surgical treatment or have not responded to surgical intervention.
Yuliprist Tablet reduces symptoms like vaginal bleeding, prolonged periods and lower back pain. It can be taken with or without food, but take it at the same time to get the most benefit. It should be taken in the dose and duration prescribed by your doctor. It is important to note that this medicine makes birth control less effective, so use proper contraceptive methods to avoid pregnancy.
This medicine's most common side effects include amenorrhea (absence of menstrual period), headache, dizziness, fatigue, and nausea. If these bother you or appear serious, let your doctor know. There may be ways of reducing or preventing them. Usually, your periods stop within 10 days of taking it, but if you still experience heavy bleeding, consult with your doctor. This medicine might stop your period for some time, but periods generally return within 4 weeks after the end of each treatment course.
Before taking this medicine, let your doctor know if you have had liver problems or severe asthma. Your doctor may perform regular blood tests to monitor your liver function while taking Yuliprist Tablet. Inform your doctor about all other medications you are taking, as many of these may make this medicine less effective or change how it works. Inform your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
