Usage, Directions, Indication and Instructions

This is used to treat abnormal menstruation (periods) or irregular vaginal bleeding. This is also used to bring on a normal menstrual cycle in women who menstruated normally in the past but have not menstruated for at least 6 months and who are not pregnant or undergoing menopause (change of life). This is also used to prevent overgrowth of the lining of the uterus (womb) and may decrease the risk of cancer of the uterus in patients who are taking estrogen. Some doctors prescribe this to treat endometriosis, menopausal symptoms, premenstrual tension, sexual aggressive behaviour in men, and sleep apnea (temporary failure to breath while sleeping). It is also used to treat certain types of cancer, and menopausal symptoms as part of combination hormone replacement therapy (estrogen and progestin HRT).

Adverse Reactions, Precautions and Warning

You should not use this medication if you are pregnant, or if you have liver disease, a hormone-related cancer such as breast or uterine cancer, a history of stroke or blood clot, or abnormal vaginal bleeding that has not been checked by a doctor. This may cause some degree of fluid retention, may mask the onset of menopause, may make you depressed, can pain with swelling, warmth, and redness in a leg vein, coughing or shortness of breath, vision problems, migraine, or weakness or numbness in an arm or leg, nausea, vomiting, headache, dizziness, sleeplessness, and irritability. If these effects persist and worsen, inform your doctor immediately. Avoid smoking while you are taking this medication. Smoking greatly increases your risk of blood clots.

Dosage and Administration

This is usually given for only a few days in a row each month. You may need to start taking the medication on a certain day of your menstrual cycle, depending on why you are taking this. It is usually taken once a day on certain days of a regular monthly cycle. To help you remember, take it at around the same time every day on the days you are scheduled to take it.

Important

This may control your condition but will not cure it. Continue taking this according to your monthly schedule even if you feel well. Do not stop without talking to your doctor.

Take only under doctors directions.
