Dinogest
1. What Dinogest® is and what it is used for?
Dinogest® is the preparation of dienogest which belongs to the class of medications called progestins, medications that act like progesterones in the body. Progestins reduce the effects of estrogen on tissues such as the endometrium (lining of the uterus) and the breast. By reducing the growth effect of estrogen on the endometrium, dienogest helps to reduce the pelvic pain experienced by women with endometriosis. Endometriosis is a condition where endometrium-like tissue is found outside the uterus, which causes chronic inflammation.
Dinogest® is used for the treatment of Endometriosis.
