Hi
Thansk for posting on HCM
Prostap is a gonadorelin (LHRH) analogue that may be used to treat a wide range of medical conditions including endometriosis.It may have as side effect missed periods due to low estrogen levels especially when used for long.Your symptoms are possible with this drug.However, i will also suggest you get a pregnancy test to exclude pregnancy.If negative, healthy life style with good diet will restore your menses and you may not need drugs.
Hope this will help
Wish you good health.
