About diethylstilbestrol

Diethylstilbestrol is an oestrogen hormone treatment which helps to control the symptoms of some cancers.

It is sometimes used to treat سرطان البروستاتا, particularly if other therapies are not suitable. It is also occasionally used in women to treat سرطان الثدي (providing you have been through the menopause).

Before taking diethylstilbestrol

Some medicines are not suitable for people with certain conditions, and sometimes a medicine can only be used if extra care is taken. For these reasons, before you start taking diethylstilbestrol it is important that your doctor knows:

• If you have a heart condition or any problems with your blood vessels.

• إذا كان لديك أي مشاكل في كيفية عمل الكبد لديك.

• If it is for breast cancer and you have not been through the menopause. This is because diethylstilbestrol must not be taken by a woman who could become pregnant.

• إذا كنت تتناول أي أدوية أخرى. يشمل ذلك أي أدوية تتناولها والتي يمكن شراؤها بدون وصفة طبية، بالإضافة إلى الأدوية العشبية والمكملات الغذائية.

• إذا كنت قد تعرضت في أي وقت مضى لرد فعل تحسسي تجاه دواء.

How to take diethylstilbestrol

• Before you start the treatment, read the manufacturer's printed information leaflet from inside the pack. It will give you more information about diethylstilbestrol, and will also provide you with a full list of the side-effects which you could experience from taking it.

• Take diethylstilbestrol exactly as your doctor tells you to. Your doctor or pharmacist will tell you how many tablets to take a day, and these directions will also be printed on the label of the pack of tablets to remind you about what you have been told. As a guide, it is usual for men to take 1-3 mg daily, and for women to take 10-20 mg daily.

• You can take the tablets either with or without food. Try to take your doses at the same time of day each day, as this will help you to remember to take your doses regularly.

• إذا نسيت تناول جرعة، فتناولها بمجرد أن تتذكر. إذا لم تتذكر حتى اليوم التالي، فاترك الجرعة المنسية من اليوم السابق وتناول الجرعة المستحقة كالمعتاد. لا تتناول جرعتين في نفس الوقت لتعويض الجرعة الفائتة.

تحقيق أقصى استفادة من علاجك

• حاول الحفاظ على مواعيدك المنتظمة مع طبيبك. هذا لكي يتمكن طبيبك من متابعة تقدمك.

• If you are having an operation or any dental treatment, tell the person carrying out the treatment that you are taking diethylstilbestrol.
