A member asked:

Is zoladex safe for me to be on for 3 months for severe endometriosis (prior to surgery of endo removal) even though i have osteoporosis and im on steroids? my gynae said its fine but i am concerned about further bone loss. im aged 32?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Your concern is understandable considering your history of osteoporosis. Zolodex will suppress the production of your sex hormones. Injectable prolia which is given every six months is a consideration and maybe one injection would be worthwhile. Be sure to take 1000 mgs of calcium and 400 units of vitamin D daily. An endocrinologist could advise you on this matter.
