Description
Dienogest is used for the treatment of pelvic pain associated with endometriosis. It consists of progestin, which is similar to the female hormone and works by suppressing the production of hormone causing endometrium. Dienogest can be taken with or without food, but take it at the same time to get the most benefit. It should be taken as your doctor's advice. The dose and how often you take it depends on what you are taking it for. Your doctor will decide how much you need to improve your symptoms. Swallow the tablets whole with a drink of water. You should take this medicine for as long as it is prescribed for you. Keep taking this medicine even during your menstrual periods. The most common side effects of this medicine include acne, headache, depressed mood, and breast discomfort. If these bother you or appear serious, let your doctor know. There may be ways of reducing or preventing them. Usually, it makes your menstrual cycle irregular or you experience spotting or brown discharge in the middle of cycle. Consult with your doctor if this occurs frequently. Before taking this medicine, let your doctor know if you have ever had unexplained vaginal or uterine bleeding, or have circulatory blood disorder. Your doctor should also know about all other medicines you are taking as many of these may make this medicine less effective or change the way it works. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant, planning pregnancy or breastfeeding before starting the treatment. Dienogest is a progestin (female hormone). It works by suppressing the production of estradiol, a hormone that causes excessive growth of the endometrium.
Indications
• Endometriosis
Mechanism of action
Dienogest is a nortestosterone derivative with no androgenic but rather an antiandrogenic activity of approximately 1/3 of that of cyproterone acetate. Dienogest binds to the progesterone receptor of the human uterus with only 10% of the relative affinity of progesterone. Despite its low affinity to the progesterone receptor, dienogest has a strong progestogenic effect in vivo. Dienogest has no significant androgenic, mineralocorticoid or glucocorticoid activity in vivo. Dienogest acts on endometriosis by reducing the endogenous production of estradiol and thereby suppressing the trophic effects of estradiol on both the eutopic and ectopic endometrium. When given continuously, dienogest leads to a hypoestrogenic, hypergestagenic endocrine environment causing initial decidualization of endometrial tissue followed by atrophy of endometriotic lesions. Additional properties eg, immunologic and antiangiogenic effects, seem to contribute to the inhibitory action of dienogest on cell proliferation.
