| Message: | Dienogest is a progestin, or a synthetic progestogen, of the 19-nortestosterone group. It is available in combination with estradiol valerate (as Natazia, Qlaira) or ethinylestradiol (as Valette) for use as an oral contraceptive, and by itself (as Visanne, Dinagest) for the treatment of endometriosis in Europe, Australia, and Japan. Although available in combination with estrogen as a contraceptive in the United States, dienogest is not available in this country by itself. In addition to its progestogenic effects, dienogest has antiandrogenic activity, and as a result can improve androgenic symptoms such as acne. It is a non-ethynylated progestin which is structurally related to testosterone. url:http://www.fzbiotech.com |
