What Causes Swelling In The Breast While On Eglonyl?

Hello, I am nearly 61 years old and have been on Eglonyl one at bedtime for a year or two, It really seems to help me sleep and be less stressed, but breasts are larger which is actually great but a bit tender and have put on a bit of weight, should I consider an alternative or try to stop altogether. Feel great otherwise and am pretty healthy for my age and have no vices except for two glasses of wine a day, no smoking and no meds and work and am active too. Only weigh 48 Kg and height is 5ft five. Thanks for an answer.

Hello

Thank you for trusting HCM

Dear eglonyl mechanism of action is Increased secretion of prolactin which can cause breast enlargement in both, men and women.

Dear due to enlargement may be you will get pain. If symptoms not improved just check and make sure for that you dont have breast infection or other malignancy .

If severe pain may reduce the dose with tolerable range. If symptoms not improved please consult your treating doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Take care.
