A new therapeutic pill named elagolix will now become available for endometriosis-related pain, after getting approved by the US Food and Drug Administration. This newly-approved drug can be taken for longer durations but also has several side-effects like headaches, hot flushes and nausea.
A 20 percent to 50 percent higher risk of developing endometriosis in women with a past of sexual or emotional abuse was observed by a European study published in the journal, Human Reproduction. Similarly, a large U.S. study in the same journal yielded matching results with sexual or physical abuse in the past.
The FDA extends the review period of NDA for AbbVie (ABBV) and partner Neurocrine Biosciences' endometriosis candidate, elagolix, by three months to third-quarter 2018.
