Some side effects of Enjuvia are rare, but are serious enough to mention. These side effects include:
- Blood clots
- Heart attacks
- Strokes
- Breast cancer, uterine cancer, or ovarian cancer
- Gallbladder disease
- Dementia (such as Alzheimer's disease)
- Allergic reactions.
Because of the possibility of these serious side effects, there are a few symptoms that you should watch out for (and should immediately report to your healthcare provider). These include, but are not limited to:
- Signs of a blood clot in the leg, such as pain in the calf, leg cramps, and leg or foot swelling
- Signs of a blood clot in the lung, such as shortness of breath, sharp chest pain, or coughing up blood
- Chest pain or heaviness, which may be signs of a heart attack
- Sudden loss of vision or vision changes, which can be a sign of a blood clot in the eye
- Heavy vaginal bleeding or unexpected vaginal bleeding
- Signs of a stroke, such as vision or speech changes, weakness or numbness in an arm or leg, and a severe headache
- Signs of liver damage, such as yellowing of the whites of the eyes or skin (jaundice), dark urine, and upper right abdominal pain (stomach pain)
- Migraines (or changes in your migraines, if you have had them before)
- Breast lumps
- Signs of an allergic reaction, including an unexplained rash, hives, itching, unexplained swelling, wheezing, or difficulty breathing or swallowing.
It is possible that you may experience some or none of the Enjuvia side effects listed in this article. Unfortunately, it can be difficult to tell whether any particular side effect (such as nausea) is caused by Enjuvia or by other factors. Therefore, make sure to let your healthcare provider know if you develop any side effects while taking Enjuvia, or if something "just does not seem right." While it may not be a side effect of the medication, your healthcare provider will be able to diagnose and treat the problem.
