What should I do after exchanging Zafrilla for Reyqo?

The decision to change your treatment from Zafrilla to Reyqo should be based on the recommendation of your treating doctor, who will assess whether the new medicine better suits your health needs. It is important to follow his guidance and not make changes to your treatment on your own.

Replacing Zafrilla with Reyqo may affect your well-being and menstrual cycle, as both drugs work differently.

Zafrilla is a dienogest medication that works mainly by inhibiting ovulation and reducing estrogen production, which is beneficial in the treatment of endometriosis and other hormonal disorders.

Reyqo is a combination preparation that contains relugolix, estradiol and norethisterone. It is mainly used to treat the symptoms of uterine fibroids, such as increased bleeding.

Changing medication can affect your menstrual cycle. In the case of Reyqo, the bleeding may stop, which is typical for hormone therapy, but irregularity may also occur. It is important to monitor any changes in your symptoms, such as bleeding or abdominal pain, and report them to your doctor. Make sure you follow the dosage recommendations for the new medicine. If you have any doubts or are concerned about any symptoms, please contact your doctor again.

If you have any further doubts or problems, it is always advisable to consult your doctor for individual advice. If you are not able to make a face-to-face visit, I attach a link to the online teleconsultation:
