Uterine fibroids - fibromyomas - leiomyomas - myomas
Many women with endometriosis who are given Lupron
injections have horrendous side-effects, including cardiac arrythmias,
dizziness, swelling, chest pain, depression and confusion, bone pain,
extreme fatigue, vision loss, high blood pressure, and nausea. Some of
the women claim their side-effects last long after treatment is
completed.
TAP says its product is safe and that the normal function of the
pituitary-gonadal system is usually restored within three months after
Lupron injections are discontinued. The FDA agrees with the company.
It's fine for TAP to say their product is safe, but quite another to
produce evidence on the basis of well-controlled long-term research that
the pituitary-gonadal system is not altered in any way by Lupron.
Meanwhile, IVF doctors often use the very same drug - Lupron -for the
treatment of infertility, an unapproved indication.
Usually Lupron injections are begun approximately one week after
ovulation. The idea is to suppress female hormones that normally can
produce one mature egg. Shutting off the body's production of hormones
enables the IVF doctors to use hormonal preparations that can lead to
multiple egg development.
Fine, but where's the solid science on safety and efficacy?
