Can Caerazette Quitting Cause Bloating And Constipation?
Hi, i'v just come off cerazette about a week and half ago now, I had been on it for 2 months. since coming off it I have been experiencing bloating nausea at the back of throat and a wee bit of constipation. I frequently get constipated though so its not an unusual thing for me! I havn't had sex while on the pill but I did have foreplay which came very close to sex but it didn't go in. I didn't have any of these problems while on the pill its just been since iv come off it! its making me really worried as I havn't had my period yet? is this common?
Cerazette may cause bloating and constipation but this happens usually when you are taking the tablet. The effects usually disappear within 48 hrs of stopping the therapy. So it is unlikely that you are having these because of the tablet or tablet withdrawl.
I suggest that you get a pregnancy test done after another week or so. Meanwhile try dietary modification eat a soft diet rich in soups and cooked salads. Eat whole wheat bread and sprouted cereals if possible. Fruits like papaya and pineapple help to combat constipation. Drugs like lactulose syrup can be used for a few days at night if the symptoms are acute needing urgent therapy but they are not a long term solution and if used for a prolonged period cause drug dependance meaning that the problem recurs if drugs are stopped. A short walk every morning and night also helps control constipation and gaseous bloating.
Hope this was helpful. Thanks for using HCM. Dr Madhuri Bagde
