People:
Prostate cancer:
The usual dose is 2 tablets 2–3 times a day (= 24 hours).
Do not interrupt treatment or reduce the dose after improvement occurs.
Initiation of treatment with LHRH-like substances:
The usual dose is 2 tablets 3 times a day (= 24 hours) for the first 5–7 days.
Then start hormonal treatment with substances like LHRH and continue taking them for another 3-4 weeks.
During treatment with LHRH-like substances, the doctor may reduce the dose to 2 tablets twice a day.
Treatment of hot flashes during hormonal treatment with LHRH-like substances or after surgical castration:
The usual dose is 2 tablets once or twice a day.
Increased sex drive (hypersexuality) or altered sex drive:
The usual dose is 1 tablet twice a day (= 24 hours). If necessary, the dose can be increased for a short period of time. In some cases, it may be necessary to reduce the dose to ½ tablet twice a day.
Your doctor will gradually reduce your dose until you reach the maintenance dose or when you stop treatment.
Women:
Dosage for women of childbearing age with regular menstrual cycles:
Treatment begins on the first day of menstrual bleeding (= 1st day of the cycle).
Take 2 tablets after meals from days 1 to 10 of the cycle.
In addition, you should take a suitable estrogen or progestin-estrogen combination (oral contraceptive, the so-called “pill”) from the first to the 21st day of the cycle. From the 22nd to the 28th day of the cycle (7). days) there is a break in taking the pills, during which bleeding usually occurs.
Exactly four weeks (full cycle) after the start of the first course, the next ten-day dose is started on the same day of the week. On this day you will also start taking oral contraceptives (“the pill”) again. If there is no bleeding, pregnancy must be ruled out before starting the next course of pills.
If improvement occurs, the doctor may reduce the dose to 1 or ½ tablet.
Dosage for women of childbearing age with irregular or absent menstrual periods:
If pregnancy is excluded, treatment can begin immediately as prescribed. Unlike women of childbearing age with regular menstruation, there is no reliable protection against pregnancy from the first day of treatment.
Therefore, it is necessary to use additional mechanical contraceptives (i.e., a barrier method, including a condom) until the oral contraceptive pill (“the pill”) has been taken for 14 consecutive days. The first day of treatment is considered the first day of the cycle. Further treatment is the same as for women with regular menstruation. During the break, withdrawal bleeding may occur.
