WHAT YSELTY IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Yselty contains the active substance linzagolix. It is used to treat
moderate to severe symptoms of
uterine fibroids (commonly known as myomas), which are noncancerous
tumours of the uterus
(womb). Yselty is used in adult women (over 18 years of age) of
childbearing age. In some women,
uterine fibroids may cause heavy menstrual bleeding (your
‘period’) and pelvic pain (pain below the
belly button).
Linzagolix blocks the action of a hormone, gonadotropin releasing
hormone, that helps to regulate the
release of female sex hormones estradiol and progesterone. These
hormones trigger women’s periods
(menstruation). When blocked, the levels of the hormones estrogen and
progesterone circulating in the
body are reduced. By decreasing their levels, linzagolix stops or
reduces menstrual bleeding and
decreases pain and pelvic discomfort and other symptoms associated
with uterine f
