this has me worried

[scarednow13]

hi i have recently been put on cerazette to help anemia related to heavy periods/endometriosis. after reading other peoples stories about digestive problems while taking this medicine i am not sure wether to start using it at the start of my next period (due tomorrow) or not. I also suffer from IBS and are concerned about the interaction between the two. advice please.

Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
Yes, cerazette can cause gut symptoms. Whether you will get or not can be known only if you take the medication. The best way to avoid gut symptoms are to take the medication after dinner and take an antacid gel or take omeprazole empty stomach in the morning.
Take care!

I am not familiar with this brand but I do know what it is, it's purpose and side effects. Have you thought of using natural progesterone? I have used it to help me get through menopause and it worked very well. I requested it in a cream form for a transdermal application. And no side effects which for a person with my problems (MCS) is a mirracle in itself.

If you would like to learn more about it just do a search: Dr. John Lee

You will find lots of info there at his site. Plus he wrote several books about using natural hormones although I don't know if they are available in the United Kingdom.
