Lingolix Tablet 100 mg contains Linzagolix, a gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) receptor antagonist used for the treatment of uterine fibroids, particularly to control heavy menstrual bleeding (menorrhagia). It works by lowering estrogen levels in the body, which helps shrink fibroids and reduce associated symptoms such as excessive bleeding and pelvic discomfort. This medication is especially useful for women seeking non-surgical management of fibroid-related symptoms and improving quality of life.
