Committee Recommendations (1)

The Surrey Heartlands Integrated Care System approves the use of relugolix-estradiol-norethisterone as recommended by NICE TA832 as an option for  treating moderate to severe symptoms of uterine fibroids in adults of reproductive age.

Relugolix-estradiol-norethisterone will be given a BLUE (no information sheet) traffic light status for this indication with specialist initiation and continued prescribing for at least 3 months prior to transfer of care to primary care prescribers.

A DXA scan is recommended after the first 52 weeks of treatment to verify that the patient does not have an unwanted degree of BMD loss, that exceeds the benefit of treatment. This DXA scan will be organised & performed by the specialist team responsible for the ongoing care of the patient.
