Precautions
This drug should not be used in patients with or suspected of having estrogen-dependent malignant tumors such as breast cancer or endometrial cancer. Patients with poor liver function or a history of liver disease, as well as those with a history of thrombosis or cardiovascular disease should not take this drug. It should not be administered to women who are pregnant or may become pregnant, nor to breastfeeding women, and patients with certain genetic metabolic disorders should also avoid it. Caution should be exercised when using this drug in patients with a history or current symptoms of uterine fibroids, thrombosis risk factors, hypertension, diabetes, liver disease, or migraines. Irregular bleeding may commonly appear at the beginning of treatment but tends to decrease over time; if persistent bleeding or abnormal symptoms occur, consult a physician immediately. This drug can cause various side effects such as thrombosis, liver tumors, breast pain, swelling, headaches, and skin rashes, so notify healthcare professionals immediately if unusual symptoms occur. Prior to and during hormone replacement therapy, regular physical examinations for blood pressure, breasts, uterus, blood sugar, etc., should be conducted, and treatment may be suspended if adverse findings arise. This drug should be discontinued 4 to 6 weeks prior to surgery, and the risk of thrombosis increases in cases of prolonged immobility, so caution is needed.

The effectiveness may decrease when taken with drugs that induce liver enzymes, and some antibiotics may reduce serum concentrations. Women who are pregnant or may become pregnant should not take this drug, and if pregnancy is confirmed, the drug should be discontinued immediately.
