Has anyone had the Zoladex injections before? I just got my first one earlier this month, and I’ve developed a rash in 2 different places on my body. I fell very ill the night of having the injection, with nausea and vomitting and a severe headache. Just wondering if I’m alone?

I'm on the medicine Lupron I haven't heard of that medicine before maybe you should talk to your doctor because some of this medicine that they got his home and they like got us some guinea pigs I feel to me but the medicine that I am on it's called Lupron and it works like I don't be having any pain or anyting so maybe you should just talk to your care provider and see like is your body have an allergic reaction cuz that can be it

Thank you @A MyEndometriosisTeam Member 😁 I’m not so worried about it now! I’ll bring it up to my Gyno next time I go in for another injection. I declined the HRT, buf I think I might want it next time I go. Hot flushes are killer. 💜

Zoladex is an injection to put me into menopause, which is reversible. Goserelin Acetate is the actual name of the drug.

The first night that I was really ill, I called 111 (NHS non energency #) and they had a nurse call me back to say that having a severe headache was normal and not to worry. She said the nausea and vomitting was something seperate, so I shrugged it off. I called my Gyno the next morning and his secretary said the same thing and not to worry.

So the rashes are new, and medical personel are telling me not to worry about all my other side effects so I’m not sure if I should report this one? I don’t want to be the one who cries wolf.

I've never heard of it either but it might be newer medication and do come out with those things a lot to help out general lol but if you're having a rash definitely contact your provider right away A rash is not normal and same with nausea and vomiting definitely do not contact us instead I'm sure you have just need other opinions but I hope you get some kind of answers hopefully someone else is taking it too and able to give me more help.
