dienogest

This medication is used to treat endometriosis. It works by lowering the amount of certain hormones in the body and decreasing the growth of abnormal tissues that cause endometriosis. This helps reduce pain and other symptoms. Dienogest is a type of hormone (progestin).

This drug may stop you from having a period (menstrual bleeding) for some time. This is not a method of birth control. Use a non-hormone type of birth control like condoms to prevent pregnancy while taking this drug. Do not use birth control pills or other hormone-based birth control while using this drug.

Both, participants with any psychiatric condition and those with depression reported more frequently to have discontinued dienogest treatment because of worsening of mood (p=. 002; p= . 001) ( Table 4 ).

In exploratory models of endometriosis, dienogest also demonstrates antiproliferative, anti-inflammatory, and antiangiogenic effects.

It is not available in the United States as a separate drug. It is only available in the oral contraceptive Natazia (Bayer Pharmaceuticals, Montville, NJ, USA) (estradiol valerate/dienogest), which is a newer four-phasic pack that contains dienogest.

It’s approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat moderate to severe pain caused by endometriosis. Visanne is also used to treat endometriosis. It contains the active drug dienogest. However, Visanne hasn’t been approved by the FDA and isn’t available in the United States.

You should not take dienogest and estradiol if you have: untreated or uncontrolled high blood pressure; heart disease (coronary artery disease, uncontrolled heart valve disorder, history of heart attack, stroke, or blood clot);

for the prevention of pregnancy; approved May 2010. for the treatment of heavy menstrual bleeding; approved March 2012.

Both dienogest and nomegestrol have antiandrogenic properties. In proportion to the dose, the highest serum concentrations are observed after the intake of gestodene. Gestodene and desogestrel are the most potent progestogens.

This study describes the experience of our center, with Dienogest 2 mg, in women with endometriosis, for a period of treatment up to 108 months, furthermore compares the group of patients who practiced long-term therapy with those who practiced short-term therapy.

Dienogest (DNG), a progestin and 19-nortestosterone derivative, was first approved for the treatment of endometriosis in Europe in 2009. It is highly selective for progesterone receptors (PGRs) and restricts serum estrogen levels by preventing ovulation, which indirectly controls endometriosis.

Conclusion: In the comparison of postoperative efficacy of the two drugs on patients with endometriosis, dienogest is better than GnRH-a adjuvant drug in postoperative recurrence, and has a good improvement and application, which is worthy of further promotion in clinical practice.

Adverse events related to dienogest use The most common adverse drug reaction was frequent or prolonged uterine bleeding (3.2%), followed by insomnia (2.7%), acne (2.1%), nausea (2.1%), weight gain (2.1%), lower abdominal discomfort (1.6%), headache (1.6%), breast discomfort (1.1%), and depressed mood (1.1%) (Table 2).

Dienogest is a specific progesterone receptor agonist with potent oral endometrial activity and is used in the treatment of endometriosis. In this study, we examined the direct effects of dienogest on the proliferation of human endometrial epithelial cells using an immortalized cell line.

Based on our results, we can conclude that dienogest, which is a new generation of progestin, is an effective agent in the treatment of endometriomas in its ability to alleviate endometriosis-related dysmenorrhea and dyspareunia and in reducing the size of the endometriomas.

Abstract. Rationale: Dienogest is a type of progestin used for the treatment of endometriosis (EM). However, a significant adverse effect of dienogest is depression; therefore, assessing for a history of mood disorders is recommended before prescribing the drug.

Drugs containing progesterones that are typically used to treat endometriosis are: Medroxyprogesterone (Provera) Norethisterone (Primolut) Dydrogesterone (Duphaston)

Although Dienogest will stop ovulation in most users and reduce the chances of becoming pregnant, it is not a contraceptive and barrier contraception, e.g. condoms or non-hormonal methods, are recommended. If you become pregnant, you are at a slightly increased risk of having an ectopic pregnancy.

Dienogest binds to the progesterone receptor and, when taken continuously, inhibits systemic gonadotropin secretion and has local antiproliferative and anti-inflammatory effects on endometriotic lesions.

Most recently, researchers found that dienogest (Visanne), a type of oral progestin, can lead to weight gain and vaginal bleeding. And the injectable form of progestin-only birth control, Depo-Provera, can cause weight gain, as well.

Preventing postsurgical recurrence of endometriosis Several studies support the use of long-term dienogest for the prevention of recurrence29,30,33,81–87, and a reduction in recurrent endometrioma size30 has been observed for up to 5 years following surgery ( Table 3 )29,30,33,81–85.

This drug may stop you from having a period (menstrual bleeding) for some time. This is not a method of birth control. Use a non-hormone type of birth control like condoms to prevent pregnancy while taking this drug. Do not use birth control pills or other hormone-based birth control while using this drug.

Dienogest is contraindicated in undiagnosed vaginal bleeding and during pregnancy and lactation. Although ovulation is inhibited in most patients, dienogest is not a contraceptive and use of a non-hormonal method is recommended while taking dienogest. The menstrual cycle resumes within two months of stopping the drug.

Because of their better profile in terms of tolerability, safety, and efficacy, progestin-only pills, among them dienogest, are the most suitable choice for the medical treatment of symptomatic endometriosis and to reduce the size of endometriomas.

008) were significantly decreased. Irregular bleeding and decreased menstrual flow were more prevalent in patients with dienogest intake of fewer than 12 weeks, while amenorrhea, weight gain, hair loss, and dorsal pain were more prevalent in patients with dienogest treatment of over 52 weeks.

001, DNG + EE). The size of the endometrioma cysts were significantly reduced in the DNG group. The mean cyst diameter was 52 ± 22 mm at baseline and 32 ± 12 mm after six months of treatment (p < . 001), yielding a 75% volume reduction in DNG group.

Dienogest is used to reduce the painful symptoms of both endometriosis and the lesions. It decreases the amount of estrogen, a type of female hormones, and thus, slows the growth of the tissue outside the womb.

Adults and teenagers—One tablet taken at the same time each day for 28 days. Children—Use and dose must be determined by your doctor.
