Side effects and what to do if you don't feel right

Most women take Riora without any issue. If something doesn't feel right, stop taking it and speak with your healthcare provider.

Seek medical help straight away if you have

Difficulty breathing, swelling of the face, lips or throat, chest pain, or a widespread rash. These need emergency care, not an email to us.

Once you're safe, please tell us what happened and give us the lot number from the bottle so we can record it properly.

In the first few days

Some women may notice mild digestive adjustment when starting a new supplement — a bit of bloating or an unsettled stomach. It usually settles.

Taking your capsule with a meal rather than on an empty stomach helps. If it doesn't settle, or it bothers you at all, stop and speak with your healthcare provider.

If you think you've had a reaction

Stop taking it. Contact your healthcare provider — urgently if any of the symptoms above are involved.

Then message us with what happened and the lot number from the label. We log every report, and we'll sort your order out. You don't need to send the bottle back.

If your symptoms feel worse since starting

Stop taking it and speak with your healthcare provider, particularly if what you're feeling is significant.

Please tell us too, with the lot number. This isn't something we want you to work through on your own, and it isn't something we treat as a complaint about results.

Unexpected bleeding or spotting

Changes to your cycle are a common part of this stage, so it may not be related to anything you've started taking.

Even so, please have any new, heavy, prolonged or unexpected bleeding looked at by a healthcare provider — and any bleeding at all if you're postmenopausal. That's worth checking regardless of what else is going on.

If you're not feeling a difference

That's a different question from not feeling right, and it's covered in [What to expect in your first 12 weeks].

If a child or pet has swallowed capsules

Call Poison Control on 1-800-222-1222 straight away, or 911 if the child is in distress. For a pet, call your vet or ASPCA Animal Poison Control on 1-888-426-4435. Have the bottle with you so you can read the ingredients out.

Then let us know, with the lot number.

Will Riora interact with my medication?

We can't assess that, and we won't guess. Speak with your healthcare provider or pharmacist. See [Riora and your medications].

A note on why we ask for the lot number

It's how we trace a specific batch. Asking for it isn't a way of putting the problem back on you — it's what lets our quality team check whether anything else has been reported on the same batch.
