To get the best results from Egolix 150 Tablet, take it exactly as prescribed. Try to take it at the same time each day, with or without food. Do not skip doses, as this may reduce its effectiveness.

Common side effects of Egolix 150 Tablet include night sweats, headaches, nausea, insomnia, anxiety, and mood changes. If any of these side effects persist or worsen, discuss them with your doctor. They may be able to provide supportive treatments or adjust your dosage.
Do not use it if you are pregnant, have osteoporosis, or have severe liver disease, as it may cause bone loss that might not fully reverse.
