Resumo
Objective: To assess the incidence of adverse drug reactions in women taking dienogest after surgical treatment of endometriosis and to determine the influence of baseline clinical and demographic characteristics on discontinuation of recurrence prevention therapy in the postoperative period.
Materials and methods: The study included 48 female patients who underwent surgical treatment for endometriosis and received recurrence prevention therapy with dienogest for 120 days between January and March 2024.
Results: There were 38/48 (79.2%) patients who completed the full course of dienogest therapy for 120 days and 10/48 (20.8%) patients who had to discontinue therapy due to the development of undesirable adverse reactions to dienogest. The leading causes for discontinuing dienogest therapy were abnormal uterine bleeding in 6/48 (12.5%) patients and migraine in 5/48 (10.4%). Psychiatric side effects were also experienced by 5/48 (11.6%) patients, with symptoms including depressive disorders, emotional instability and cognitive impairment.
Conclusion: Regardless of age, body mass index or clinical indicators of endometriosis, the use of dienogest may be associated with a risk of adverse drug reactions and may lead to the discontinuation of recurrence prevention therapy.
