Description
Curator's Comment: description was created based on several sources, including http://www.kiessig.com/drugs/druginfo.aspx?id=652 | https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2928320 | https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8794418

Dienestrol (INN, USAN) (brand names Ortho Dienestrol, Dienoestrol, Dienoestrol Ortho, Sexadien, Denestrolin, Dienol, Dinovex, Follormon, Oestrodiene, Synestrol, numerous others) is a synthetic, non-steroidal estrogen. It is an estrogen receptor agonist. Estrogens work partly by increasing a normal clear discharge from the vagina and making the vulva and urethra healthy. Using or applying an estrogen relieves or lessens: dryness and soreness in the vagina, itching, redness, or soreness of the vulva. Conditions that are treated with vaginal estrogens include a genital skin condition (vulvar atrophy), inflammation of the vagina (atrophic vaginitis), and inflammation of the urethra (atrophic urethritis). Dienestrol currently discontinued in US, but still in market in some other counties

Sample Use Guides

The usual dosage range is one or two applicatorsful per day for one or two weeks, then gradually reduced to one half initial dosage for a similar period. A maintenance dosage of one applicatorful, one to three times a week, may be used after restoration of the vaginal mucosa has been achieved. The lowest dose that will control symptoms should be chosen and medication should be discontinued as promptly as possible. Attempts to discontinue or taper medication should be made at 3 to 6-month intervals.
Route of Administration: Vaginal
In Vitro Use Guide
Renal tubular cells were grown on a PF-HR-9 basement membrane under serum-free chemically defined culture conditions in the absence or presence of Dienestrol (as a solution in ethanol). Effect of Estrogens and Nonestrogenic Hormones on Cell Outgrowth was assayed at 5, 7, 11, and 14 days.
