Effect Of Fibristal On Migraine?

Hi Dr. Grief, My specialist has recommended that I do a 3 month trial of Fibristal, which has just recently been approved in Canada. We are looking an mid-December surgery date and she is hoping the Firbristal will increase the likelihood of having this done laprascopically. I have long been a migraine sufferer and am curious how this drug may impact migraines as I see that headaches is listed as common side effect. Any advice on this? Thanks

Hi,
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic,
After going through your available details, you are having Uterine fibroids and planning surgery for it.

FIBRISTAL (ulipristal acetate) is the first in a new class of medications called selective progesterone receptor modulators (SPRMs)

Headache is your worry as history of Migraine is there but this is
If troublesome headache is there you can report to your Gynecologist.

This is new drug as you pointed out , but this effective in reducing size of fibroid and if so even if you need surgery may be laproscopic one.

Hope you respond well to this drug and your problem is cured.
Good Luck to you.
Take care.
Dr.Akhilesh Dubey M.D.
