While taking Myfembree, your estrogen levels may be low, which can lead to BMD loss. If this happens, your BMD may improve after you stop Myfembree, but complete recovery may not occur. It is unknown if these BMD changes could increase your risk for broken bones as you age. For this reason, you should not take Myfembree for more than 24 months. Your HCP may order an X-ray test called a DXA scan to check your BMD when you start Myfembree and periodically after you start if you have uterine fibroids or annually if you have pain associated with endometriosis.
Call your HCP or get emergency medical help right away if you have any of these symptoms, especially if they are new, worse, or bother you:thoughts about suicide or dying, attempts to commit suicide, new or worse depression or anxiety, other unusual changes in behavior or mood.

Do not take hormonal birth control such as birth control pills, because they may increase side effects and Myfembree may not work as well.
