CompositionEgolix 200 Tablet 10 is a hormonal 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 oestrogen and progesterone, which drive the growth of endometriosis tissue and the pain it causes. It does not cure endometriosis, but helps reduce pelvic pain and improve daily functioning. Take it exactly as prescribed by your doctor.
Endometriosis is a long-term condition in which tissue similar to the womb lining grows outside the womb. Keeping a record of your pain and period symptoms can help your doctor review how well the treatment is working.
Before taking this medicine, tell your doctor if you are pregnant or planning a pregnancy, or if you have liver problems. Treatment should be limited to the period your doctor advises because prolonged use can cause loss of bone density.
