About Endofit Tablet

DIENOGEST belongs to a group of medicines called progestin indicated for the management of painful symptoms of endometriosis. Endometriosis is a painful disorder in which the tissue that generally lines the endometrium (inside the uterus) grows outside the uterus. Endometriosis generally involves ovaries, pelvis lining, and fallopian tubes.
 
DIENOGEST contains ‘Dienogest’, which suppresses the production of a hormone called estradiol which causes excess growth of the endometrium. Thereby, DIENOGEST helps in treating pelvic pain associated with endometriosis.
 
Take DIENOGEST with or without food. Swallow DIENOGEST as a whole with water; do not chew or break the tablet. You are advised to take DIENOGEST for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you depending on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience certain common side effects such as acne, headache, depression, breast discomfort, abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.
 
Avoid taking DIENOGEST if you are pregnant, planning for pregnancy, or breastfeeding. Consult your doctor immediately if you become pregnant while taking DIENOGEST. DIENOGEST should not be given to children who have not had their first period. DIENOGEST may cause dizziness, so drive with caution. Avoid or limit alcohol consumption along with DIENOGEST as it could lead to increased dizziness. Inform your doctor about your health condition and medications before taking DIENOGEST to rule out any side effects/interactions.
