A member asked:

Is heartburn a symptom for somebody taking gnrh agonist for treatment of her endometriosis?

Specializes in Pediatric Endocrinology

No: You would think the opposite as Lupron (leuprolide) suppresses estrogen production, the very same hormone that relaxes the esophageal sphincter (that's why heart burn increases during pregnancy due to high estrogen state).

Not commonly: The most frequent side effects are hot flashes, headache, nausea and weight gain.
