Could Weight Gain And Enlarged Neck Be Side Effects Of Microner?

My 16 yr old daughter has been having irregular periods for the last 2 yrs. the Dr has put her on Microner and this medication has regulated her period. However now we just noticed that he has gained approx 10-15 lbs which the Dr has recommended that she lose and an enlarged neck. Could these be side effects from the microner?

Hi,

Weight gain is an important side effect of micronor which is a synthetic form of female hormone progesterone prescribed for regulating ovulation and menstruation. However, other causes of weight gain an enlarged neck like hypothyroidism should be ruled out by her doctor.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
