WHAT ULIPRISTAL ACETATE GEDEON RICHTER IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Ulipristal Acetate Gedeon Richter contains the active substance
ulipristal acetate. It is used to treat
moderate to severe symptoms of uterine fibroids (commonly known as
myomas), which are
non-cancerous tumours of the uterus (womb).
Ulipristal Acetate Gedeon Richter is used in adult women (over 18
years of age) before they reach the
menopause.
In some women, uterine fibroids may cause heavy menstrual bleeding
(your ‘period’), pelvic pain
(discomfort in the belly) and create pressure on other organs.
This medicine acts by modifying the activity of progesterone, a
naturally occuring hormone in the
body. It is used for long term treatment of your fibroids to reduce
their size, to stop or reduce bleeding
and to increase your red blood cell count.
