Overview

Dienogest is used in endometriosis.Dienogest is a progestin (female hormones). It works to prevent pregnancy by preventing the release of an egg from the ovary or preventing fertilization of the egg by sperm (male reproductive cells). It also may work by changing the lining of the uterus (womb) to prevent the development of a pregnancy.Dienogest and estradiol is a combination drug that contains female hormones that prevent ovulation (the release of an egg from an ovary).

This medicine is also used to treat heavy menstrual bleeding that is not caused by any medical condition of the uterus.
