Side effects and cautions
When given with ovulation-stimulating treatment, GnRH analogues don't cause low-estrogen symptoms. But when taken alone, GnRH analogues may cause a temporary condition which has the same effects as menopause, such as:
- hot flashes
- mood swings
- decreased sexual interest
- vaginal dryness
- increased low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol level
- decreased high-density lipoprotein (HDL)
- cholesterol
- insomnia and
- headaches.
These side effects will go away when you stop using a GnRH agonist
GnRH antagonist therapy can cause: * nausea or * swelling, redness, or itching at the injection site.
