Ulipristal acetate

Uses

Ulipristal acetate is used in the treatment of emergency contraception and uterine fibroids. It is indicated for intermittent treatment and pre-operative management of moderate to severe symptoms of uterine fibroids in adult women of reproductive age.

How it Works

How Ulipristal acetate works: Ulipristal acetate is a selective progesterone receptor modulator. It modifies the action of progesterone, a natural female hormone. It is used either before surgery for fibroids or for intermittent treatment of fibroids. It helps reduce their size, stops or controls bleeding, and increases red blood cell count.

Side Effects

Common side effects of Ulipristal acetate include absence of menstrual periods, headache, and endometrial hyperplasia.

Expert Advice

  • Ulipristal acetate is used for the treatment of uterine fibroids and their associated symptoms, including:
    • Painful periods
    • Heavy bleeding
    • Pelvic pain
  • It significantly reduces or stops menstrual bleeding within the first 10 days of treatment.
  • Notify your doctor if you continue to experience heavy bleeding despite taking Ulipristal acetate.
