Intrarosa (Prasterone) FAQs
Why does Intrarosa cause weight gain?
There are no reports of weight gain associated with this drug.
However, Diet changes, hormonal changes, and decreased physical activity can all contribute to weight gain in postmenopausal women. When women enter menopause, their hormones change, resulting in more body fat and less lean muscle mass. This shift can result in weight gain even if they consume the same amount of calories.
In postmenopausal women, weight gain is less likely to be caused by Intrarosa than other factors, including hormones and other factors such as pregnancy and pregnancy complications. Discuss with your healthcare provider any unexplained weight gain or any other medication to determine the cause and develop a treatment plan.
How long does it take for Intrarosa to dissolve?
According to the manufacturer, the vaginal insert should be inserted into the vagina once daily at bedtime. The insert should be left in place overnight and will dissolve gradually throughout the night.
