Does Qlaira Cause Extreme Fatigue?
Hello, I have been on Qlaira for over 3 months now. For the last 4 weeks, I have been getting increasingly more tired. By now, I am debilitated with fatigue. Got my blood tests done, but apart from slightly low iron and vitamin D, all is normal. I have had much worse iron without any symptoms and the doctor agrees that it is probably not the cause for my current state. I was wondering if Qlaira could be the reason? The leaflet lists fatigue as one of the possible side effects. However, I didn t get it straight away but it started in month 3. Any suggestions would be most welcome!

Hi,
Yes... definitely, it is the cause.
Qlaira is used for the treatment of heavy menstrual bleeding and as a birth control pill.
It can cause vaginal discharge, vulvovaginal dryness; fatigue, irritability and swelling.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. AJEET SINGH, General & Family Physician
