Just been on an NHS website again and this is the list of drugs recommeded for confirmed diagnosis of endo:
- Brevinor 500microgram/35microgram tablets = Brevicon
- Buserelin 150micrograms/dose nasal spray
- Cilest 250microgram / 35microgram tablets = Ortho-cyclen
- Codeine 30mg tablets
- Danazol 200mg capsules
- Diclofenac sodium 25mg gastro-resistant tablets
- Diclofenac sodium 50mg gastro-resistant tablets
- Gestrinone 2.5mg capsules
- Goserelin 3.6mg implant pre-filled syringes
- Ibuprofen 400mg tablets
- Ibuprofen 600mg tablets
- Leuprorelin 11.25mg powder and solvent for suspension for injection vials
- Leuprorelin 3.75mg powder and solvent for suspension for injection vial
- Medroxyprogesterone 10mg tablets
- Mefenamic acid 500mg tablets
- Microgynon 30 tablets = Levlen/Levora/Nordette
- Nafarelin 200micrograms/dose nasal spray
- Naproxen 250mg tablets
- Norethisterone 5mg tablets
- Ovranette tablets = i think just like levlen again.
- Ovysmen 500microgram/35microgram tablets = Brevicon/Modicon
- Paracetamol 500mg tablets
- Tibolone 2.5mg tablets
- Triptorelin 4.2mg powder and solvent for suspension for injection vials
so the choice for bcp is quite limited in the NHS, although some others that are recommended are Femodene (gestodene, not in US), and progestogen-only pills and the depo shot.
I am totally confused to be honest, don't know what to do and can't understand why I am in this pain on Yasmin. xx
