How to use Uliroid

Take this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Swallow it as a whole. Do not chew, crush or break it. Uliroid may be taken with or without food, but it is better to take it at a fixed time.

How Uliroid works

Uliroid is a selective progesterone receptor modulator. It works by modifying the action of progesterone (natural female hormone). It is used either before surgery of fibroids or for intermittent (at regular intervals) treatment of fibroids. It helps reduce their size, stops or controls bleeding and increases your red blood cell count.

What if you forget to take Uliroid?

If you miss a dose of Uliroid, take it as soon as possible. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular schedule. Do not double the dose.

Quick Tips

Uliroid is used for the treatment of uterine fibroids and their associated symptoms, such as painful periods, heavy bleeding and pelvic pain.
It considerably reduces or stops your menstrual bleeding within the first 10 days of treatment. Notify your doctor if you continue to have heavy bleeding despite taking Uliroid.
Your periods will usually start again within four weeks of stopping Uliroid.
Use a reliable barrier contraceptive method (such as condoms or a diaphragm) to prevent pregnancy while you are taking Uliroid as it may make hormonal contraceptives (such as pills) less effective.
Your doctor may get routine blood tests done to assess the functioning of your liver. Inform your doctor if you notice yellowing of skin/eye, dark urine, or stomach pain.
