It just kind of confused me as I had never heard of anyone being prescribed this before and Chu didn't really let me ask any questions which I found rude considering it cost £180 .. it has left me feeling so down as I waited two years to be able to afford it. He was nice and everything but I wish I knew why he had prescribed me that, even searching on this forum yields very little mention of the drug.
Just dont know what to do
Ditto. In my case his lack of curiosity about co-morbidities was fairly disasterous leading to delay in diagnosing a far more serious cause of flushing and aggravation of other connective-tissue related circulation problems. Luckily I did not take the anti-androgens he prescribed as they potentially could have made my other condition much worse.
Take care and always double-check the side effects of any medication prescribed before taking. I'd be particularly careful with this medication if you have any sort of autoimmune disease (e.g. hypothyroidism) as it can cause thrombocytopenia and megaloblastic anaemia.
