I am taking the drug orillissa for my endometriosis and was wondering if I am at risk for premature osteoporosis.
I am a 22 year old woman and was diagnosed with stage 3 endometriosis during my laparoscopic surgery.

Hello Mrs,
Are you receiving calcium and vitamin D supplements?

Thanks for the feedback.
Loss of muscle mass or weight is not reported by the manufacturer of Orilissa in its product monograph. Calcium and vitamin D supplementation is recommended with this medication.
As the drug may exacerbate osteoporosis, monitoring of bone mineral density is recommended during treatment.
If you have noticed unexplained weight loss, you should discuss it with your doctor.
