What Are The Side Effects Of Estelle-35 ED?
Question: I have recently started taking the birth control pill Estelle 35Ed about a month and a half ago for 2 reasons 1 being to clear up my skin and the second to be able to regulate my period for my upcoming wedding thats now in 3 weeks time. Since taking it my breasts have been extremely swollen and very very sore its becoming very painful day to day and also in my wedding dress, they have swollen to a whole cup size bigger what can i do to help this situation especially for the next 3 weeks.
Brief Answer:
Better switch to some other emedy.
Detailed Answer:
Dear xxxxx,
I have gone through your history and have understood your concern.
The medicine Estelle 35Ed you are taking contains ethinylestradiol with Cyproterone acetate. The later component is steroidal antiandrogenic with progesterone like properties also. Progesterone is known to cause breast engorgement with tenderness by retention of salt and water. Probably by curtailing salt intake from your diet, you may find some relief. If you are having painful breats, some pain killer like Paracetamol will give you relief.
You have mentioned the first indication for taking this medicine as 'To clear up the skin'. Will you please elaborate the statement? Are you having acne for which you are on this medicine? As it is they do not advocate to continue on this medicine for more than 3 months or so. So if your acne problem is over, you may discontinue this medicine and switch over to a simple progesterone product like Primolut for delaying the periods for upcoming wedding event.
If you clarify on your skin problem, we can find out a better way for you. Prima facae it seems that Estella 35Ed does not suit you and you will have to switch over to the different remedy.
I hope this should take care of your current problem for the time being. With more information from you, I can guide you further.
