- Abdominal or stomach pain[1][7]
- Headache, including migraines[1][7]
- Nausea[1][7]
- Changes in weight[1][7]
- Mood changes, including depression or insomnia[1][7]
- Skin rash and itching[1]
Less common side effects include:
- Oedema (fluid retention)[1]
- Changes in libido (sex drive)[1]
- Migraine[1][7]
Serious but rare side effects can include:
- Signs of blood clots (thrombosis), such as pain in the chest, sudden breathlessness, swelling or pain in one leg, sudden numbness, severe or unusual headaches, trouble with speech, understanding, or eyesight[1][7][3]
- Allergic reactions (swelling of the face, lips, mouth, tongue, or throat; difficulty breathing; severe skin rash)[3][5]
- Increased risk of breast cancer[1]
If you develop any severe symptoms—such as chest pain, sudden shortness of breath, severe headaches, or signs of an allergic reaction—seek medical attention immediately[3][7][5].
