Hello, i would like to ask about "onegyn" which contains "huile d'onagre" and is used to reduce pms.does it have any side effects?thanks
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Evening Primrose oil: "huile d'onagre" is french for evening primrose oil -- obtained from the evening primrose plant. It can help in pms, especially with breast soreness. The gla (gamma linolenic acid) in it along with linoleic acid decreases inflammation. Usually it's well-tolerated, but don't use in pregnancy. Also, combined w/antiplatelet meds (aspirin, etc) it may increase anticoagulation, leading to bruising.
