Reduces symptoms: This drug is availed in US as Ella (ulipristal acetate) a morning after pill, it reduces a fibroid's responded to progesterone hormones and can slow growth and shrinks some fibroids, see your Family Doctor or Gyn to see if this would be on benefit for you if you are having symptoms from fibroids, take care and see your Doctor!
