"Has anyone taken Ponstan Forte and experienced sinus symptoms days after? Like burning nose, eyes hurting, tension headaches , something like brain zaps or shocks in the head?
This is my second cycle taking ponstan 2 days before my period and the first 3 days of my period and I’ve been experiencing these things a day or two after my period ends. This usually does not happen, only when I started taking ponstan last month. The headaches hurt but more like a squeezing pressure from the middle to the back of my head. Anyone with experience taking Ponstan lemme know your side effects 😕"

  1. Hi . Those are not among the listed side effects for Ponstan Forte and I couldn't find any similar experiences in our archives. Have you ever reacted to NSAIDs like this before? Are you taking any other medications that might react negatively with it? I would reach out to both your doctor and your pharmacist about your symptoms. Your doctor might want to try something different, but might also want to take note in case those same symptoms reappear under different circumstances. Keep us posted if you don't mind. I will be thinking of you. - Lori (Team Member)

  2. no I’ve never reacted to NSAIDs before and I’m not taking anything for else with it. Next month is my last trial. Will definitely have a discussion with my doctor

  3. Hi . If the symptoms every reach a point where they make you feel unsafe. please either call your doctor or go to the ER. Best to play it safe. I hope your doctor is able to help. Is your doctor an endometriosis specialist? Sending the best of all wishes your way. - Lori (Team Member)
