Esmya Tablets Fibroid Treatment
Posted , 151 users are following.
Hello I'm 44 and have recently been diagnosed with a 11cm Fibroid, my Gyno has put me on Esmya to try and shrink the fibroid, I just wondered if any one could me advice or their review as its fairly new treatment and can't find anyone who has tried it.
Thank you

I too started this medication in December and am experiencing a lot of side effects and too would like a lot
more information on the medication. It has been prescribed to me for three months as a pre-op medication. I am suffering with a lot of body aching, extreme fatigue and on occasion chest pains and headaches. It does get really good write ups but I think it is important to have more information on what it is actually doing in the body. I am happy to chat and share this experience with you. Look forward to hearing from you. Lyn

I do not recommend this medicine ESMYA as it has very adverse effects , kindly never use it as it gets patients on the risk of cancer . Even my specialist doctor believe that this drug should be ban as it is getting patients on the risk of cancer .Hope this information helps .

My gynaecologist also suggsted I go on Esmya for 3months to shrink fibroid ahead of hysterecotomy. I saw her privately so the prescription comes out ridiculously expensive, like 430pounds for 90 tablets. Did anyone get Esmya presciption on NHS through GP?

Just saw this was over a year ago so you might not need this info. I got Esmya on the NHS in November and have been on it for 3 months and didn't get any side effects. No periods was lovely!! The pharmacy in the hospital was very reluctant to give them to me and my gynae told me this would happen. So had to wait until they could confirm with my gynae that this was OK even though she gave me the prescription!!! Told them it was much cheaper me having the pills (for shrinking lots of fibroids) than having a hysterectomy!!

Hello,
I read that this drug was stopped at least in the eu. you could google and see this. Please do consider MrgFUS, its a new treatment that uses thermal energy. https://radiology.ucsf.edu/patient-care/sections/ir/MRgFUS/treatment
