CompositionEgolix 150 Tablet 10 is a hormone-related medicine used to manage moderate to severe pain associated with endometriosis in adult women. It is a single-ingredient medicine containing elagolix, and belongs to a class of medicines called gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) receptor antagonists.
This medicine works by lowering the body's production of the hormones that drive endometriosis, a long-term condition where tissue similar to the lining of the womb grows outside the womb and causes pelvic pain, painful periods and pain during intercourse. It does not cure endometriosis, but it helps reduce pain and improve daily functioning. Take it exactly as your doctor prescribes.
Treatment with this medicine should be limited in duration, so keep your follow-up appointments and let your doctor review how well your pain is controlled. Your doctor decides the dose and length of treatment based on your symptoms, liver function and response.
Before taking this medicine, tell your doctor if you are pregnant or planning pregnancy, or if you have liver problems or a history of bone loss. Longer use may reduce bone strength, and you should tell your doctor if you notice mood changes such as low mood or depression.
