About Rumigest Capsule

Rumigest Capsule belongs to a group of medicines called progestin indicated for the management of painful symptoms of endometriosis. Endometriosis is a painful disorder in which the tissue that generally lines the endometrium (inside the uterus) grows outside the uterus. Endometriosis generally involves ovaries, pelvis lining, and fallopian tubes.
 
Rumigest Capsule contains ‘Dienogest’, which suppresses the production of a hormone called estradiol which causes excess growth of the endometrium. Thereby, Rumigest Capsule helps in treating pelvic pain associated with endometriosis.
 
You are advised to take Rumigest Capsule for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you depending on your medical condition. In some cases, Rumigest Capsule may cause side effects such as acne, headache, depression, breast discomfort, abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.
 
Avoid taking Rumigest Capsule if you are pregnant, planning for pregnancy or breastfeeding. Consult your doctor immediately if you become pregnant while taking Rumigest Capsule . Rumigest Capsule should not be given to children who have not had their first period. Rumigest Capsule may cause dizziness, so drive with caution. Avoid or limit alcohol consumption with Rumigest Capsule as it could lead to increased dizziness. Inform your doctor about your health condition and medications to rule out any side-effects/interactions.
