I have just been prescribed this drug to get to the laparoscopic total hysterectomy. Among the side effects I read the common possibility (1/10) of alopecia. Has it happened to anyone?
Thank you

Yes, according to the Summary of Product Characteristics, hair loss is one of the most common side effects of Ryego:

Although not every patient will develop alopecia, it is a known and documented side effect. If you notice excessive hair loss, it is worth consulting a doctor who can assess the situation and suggest possible solutions or changes in therapy. Do not give up without consulting because Ryeqo helps control the symptoms of uterine fibroids and prepares the body for the hysterectomy.
If you are unable to consult your doctor, you can use the teleconsultation here:

I encourage you to report the symptoms you experience to your doctor, as well as to report the occurrence of an adverse effect of the preparation. Reporting side effects allows you to increase control over medicines available on the market. We wrote more about how and why to report side effects in the article:
