What are the long term side effects of lupron?
Lupron is a very commonly used medication, and almost every person with endometriosis has used it or heard its name. Although there are some serious concerns about the short and long-term complications related to Lupron and similar drugs, we have seen more of them recently. This increase in the number of drugs means there will be a growing flush of money to advertise them on platforms that patients use for their education, such as Google. So when patients search “endometriosis,” these drugs will be on the top of the search results as a treatment for endometriosis.
But why did these medications’ production, advertisement, and usage increase despite their adverse effects and discussions around them? A part of the problem is that not many people know about the long-term side effects of the drugs. You might have shared your experience elsewhere, but it is not visible to most people. This lack of stories of real people who took Lupron and similar medications has led to more people taking it without enough knowledge of the effects. And because it has become such a lucrative market, more companies make them now and educate people to take them.
This cycle of lack of accessible real-world experiences and increased production and usage of Lupron and similar drugs for endometriosis needs to stop! We need to ensure enough factual information about these meds comes from endo patients’ first-hand experience. So everyone who searches for endometriosis and these medications should learn about the actual impacts of these drugs on real patients. This information can help many patients and doctors make informed decisions about these drugs.
To address this problem, we at iCareBetter have created a dedicated page for our endo community members to share their experience with the long-term side effects of Lupron. We aim to make real-world experiences accessible, and a top result in Google searches. If you want to join this education campaign, please use the link below to write your experience with Lupron’s long-term side effects. And share this post with your circles.
