Encede Tablet is taken orally.

Encede Tablet contains dienogest (2 mg), which works on your body in several ways:

• Suppresses gonadotropin secretion: Dienogest reduces the secretion of gonadotropins, hormones that stimulate activity in the reproductive organs. By doing so, it inhibits ovulation.

• Inhibits endometrial tissue growth: The medicine directly hinders the growth and shedding of endometrial tissue, both inside and outside the uterus. This helps manage endometriosis.

• Reduces inflammation: Dienogest reduces inflammation and prostaglandin production in endometriotic lesions, which can help lessen pelvic pain.

• Creates an unfavourable environment for endometriosis: It creates a local environment with low oestrogen and high progesterone levels that do not support the growth of endometriotic tissue.

Through these actions at various levels in your body, Encede Tablet helps manage symptoms of endometriosis effectively.

• Store Encede Tablet in a cool, dry place, ideally at a temperature not exceeding 25°C.

• Keep away from direct light and moisture.

• Always keep the medication in its original packaging until you're ready to take it.

• Remember to keep Encede Tablet out of reach of children and pets.

• Ensure you use the medicine before the expiry date printed on the packet.

• As Encede Tablet helps manage endometriosis, it's beneficial for you to follow a diet low in caffeine and alcohol. These substances can increase levels of oestrogen, a hormone that encourages the growth of endometrial tissue.

• Regular exercise can be helpful. It reduces oestrogen levels and can aid in pain management. But remember, always consult your doctor before starting any new fitness regimen.
