For adults, the usual dose is 1 tablet per day.
The following statements apply to Dienosis unless otherwise prescribed by the doctor. Follow these instructions, otherwise the patient will not fully benefit from Dienosis.
The patient can start the treatment with Dienosis on any day of the natural cycle.
Adults: take one tablet every day, preferably at the same time with some liquid as needed. When a pack is finished the next one should be started without interruption. Continue to take the tablets also on days of menstrual bleeding.
There is no experience with Dienosis treatment > 15 months in patients with endometriosis.
If the patient takes more Dienosis than she should: There have been no reports of serious harmful effects from taking too many Dienosis at one time. However, if you the patient is concerned, contact the doctor.
If the patient forgets to take Dienosis or suffer from vomiting or diarrhoea: Dienosis will be less effective if the patient misses a tablet. If the patient misses one or more tablets, take one tablet only as soon as the patient remembers, and then continue next day taking the tablet at the usual time.
If the patient vomits within 3-4 hours of taking Dienosis or have severe diarrhoea, there is a risk that the active substance in the tablet will not be taken up by the body. The situation is almost the same as forgetting a tablet. After vomiting or diarrhoea within 3-4 hours of taking Dienosis, the patient should take another tablet as soon as possible.
Do not take a double dose to make up for a forgotten tablet.
If the patient stops taking Dienosis: If the patient stops taking Dienogest, the original endometriosis symptoms may return.
