Dimia tab N28 (Gedeon)
A number of epidemiological studies have revealed a slight increase in the incidence of venous and arterial thrombosis and thromboembolism when taking combined oral contraceptives. Venous thromboembolism (VTE), manifesting as deep vein thrombosis and/or pulmonary embolism, can develop during the use of all combined oral contraceptives. The estimated incidence of VTE in women taking oral contraceptives with low doses of estrogens (less than 50 mcg ethinyl estradiol) is up to 4 per 10 thousand women per year, compared with 0.5-3 per 10 thousand women not using oral contraceptives. However, the incidence of VTE developing when taking combined oral contraceptives is less than the incidence associated with pregnancy (6 per 10 thousand pregnant women per year). In women taking combined oral contraceptives, extremely rare cases of thrombosis of other blood vessels, for example, the hepatic, mesenteric, renal arteries and veins, the central retinal vein and its branches, have been described. The connection with the use of combined oral contraceptives has not been proven. A woman should stop taking the drug and consult a doctor if symptoms of venous or arterial thrombosis develop, which may include unilateral leg pain and/or swelling; sudden severe chest pain; with or without irradiation to the left hand; sudden shortness of breath; sudden attack of cough; any unusual, severe, prolonged headache; increased frequency and severity of migraines; sudden partial or complete loss of vision; diplopia; slurred speech or aphasia; dizziness; collapse with or without partial seizure; weakness or very significant loss of sensation that suddenly appears on one side or in one part of the body; movement disorders; "acute" stomach. The risk of thrombosis (venous and/or arterial) and thromboembolism increases: with age, in smokers (with increasing number of cigarettes smoked or increasing age, the risk further increases, especially in women over 35 years of age), with a family history (i.e. venous or arterial thromboembolism ever in close relatives or parents at a relatively young age), obesity (body mass index more than 30), dyslipoproteinemia, arterial hypertension, heart valve disease, atrial fibrillation, prolonged immobilization, major surgery, any surgery on the legs or extensive trauma. In these situations, it is advisable to stop using combined oral contraceptives (in the case of planned surgery at least 4 weeks before it) and not to resume use for 2 weeks after the end of immobilization. The increased risk of thromboembolism in the postpartum period should be taken into account. Circulatory abnormalities may also occur in diabetes mellitus, SLE, hemolytic uremic syndrome, chronic inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis), and sickle cell anemia.

The gynecologist prescribed me Dimiya tablets, I had severe problems with my cycle. I’ve been drinking for three months, if not more, I’m already confused, and everything is fine. The cycle was restored, although before this it happened that there was nothing for many months (everything was fine with the weight, just stress), and there were no mistakes in terms of contraception. And they also have a huge advantage in that they sent me and there are no side effects, I didn’t start to gain weight, everything stays in one pore

I've been drinking Dimia for a year and a half now. There were no problems either at the beginning of the treatment or now. My gynecologist didn’t take any tests, she just prescribed them for young girls - and, in my opinion, they suited me perfectly)) My periods are hourly and less painful, quite scanty, but the number of days is the same as before taking the pills. I am very pleased with these tablets. I live and enjoy life.

I was very worried that taking Dimiya would make me gain weight, but now I can say that I’m not fat anyway and taking OK doesn’t affect my weight in any way. I have a slight hormonal imbalance, nothing serious, but it’s still better not to start it, as the doctor said. They helped me with my skin. The face is now... Read review

After pregnancy, the cycle never recovered, and there was no desire for sex at all; after an examination, the doctor recommended taking Dimia as a contraceptive. Now I’ve been taking them for about a year, in terms of my cycle everything is fine, as a contraceptive this COC also suits me, I don’t feel any side effects from it.

Everything returned to normal, these days began to come as scheduled)) Easy to use, nothing complicated. But! Girls, be sure to consult your doctor! It may not be safe to drink just like that!

Girls, hello everyone!
Each of us, sooner or later, is faced with family planning issues. Namely, with the regulation of the number of its members))) And each chooses the optimal method of contraception for itself. Of course, in this case, take pills, use condoms, put in a coil or “knock on wood three times” - everyone decides for themselves, based on financial capabilities, health, age and, finally, intelligence.. For myself, I chose pills.
The only question was: which pills are right for me? The wisest thing to do in such cases is to consult a gynecologist, many will say... In part, I agree. If you can trust him. But, after contacting my gynecologist, and seeing on the table a pack of advertising brochures for one of the drugs, which she recommended to me (by the way, the representative also visited our pharmacy, we heard, we know))), I doubted the correctness of her recommendation. In addition to working as a pharmacist, I also have a paramedic education, I know a thing or two)) After taking three courses of those pills, I realized for sure that they were not for me. Continuous brown discharge and emotional instability, up to depression and hysterics... I wouldn’t wish it on my enemy! Therefore, I decided to choose the pills myself, and, after sifting through a lot of information, I settled on the drug Yarina . After drinking three cycles, and being completely delighted, I switched to an analogue from Gedeon Richter - Midiana , which I “sat” for more than a year... after which I decided to reduce the dose of estrogen , and, already being familiar with Richter’s drugs, without a doubt, bought Dimia .
Dimia is an absolute analogue of Jess . The same drospirenone + ethinyl estradiol. In principle, these drugs are similar in composition to Yarina and Midiana - but the dose of estrogen is lower. That is why these drugs ( Jes/Dimia ) are recommended for young girls who have not given birth. I fundamentally disagree with this, and I think that it is more logical to select the dose according to weight and individual perception. For me, a mother of two children, 0.02 mg of ethinyl estradiol was enough to keep my cycle stable . And this component plays exactly this role. Therefore, I think that there is no point in taking a larger dose. However, everyone has the right to disagree with me - there is no scientific evidence for this.
So, I’ll probably start with the shortcomings... What you may encounter when taking Dimia for the first time.
1) The first cycle from the start of taking Dimia, you may notice a headache , engorgement of the chest , nausea , nagging pain in the legs . Personally, I had a lack of appetite and my legs felt tight in the evening. I even thought about quitting, I ran and donated blood to test for clotting, but everything turned out to be normal and went away after the first cycle of use.
If you feel nauseous , take the pills before bed, not in the morning or after meals. If you have a wild appetite , drink it in the morning. If your chest hurts , limit salt in your diet.. And if your legs feel sore , take aspirin 1/4 tablet in the morning, or, ideally, Cardiomagnyl 75 mg. These troubles can persist for a maximum of 3-4 cycles. Then everything will return to normal.
2) The first cycle, or even 2-3 cycles, may experience “smearing” . Brownish, thick discharge. This is normal and we need to get over it. But this drug did not cause such side effects for me, unlike the one recommended by the gynecologist...
3) Weight gain from Dimia is extremely rare. Neither myself nor my friends have noticed such a problem, but I’ve read a lot about it.. So, girls, what can I say... Yes, indeed, OCs cause fluid retention, and thereby lead to weight gain. BUT drugs based on Drospirenone, such as Dimia , do not retain fluid, which is why your gained kilos should be attributed to errors in the diet, and not to pills. Although, of course, your weight may increase if the pills increase your appetite... But this is an extremely rare occurrence. My appetite is under complete control with Dimia. The weight is stable, but a couple of kilos have even gone off since I started taking it.. Be sure to drink more water! This will reduce the risk of thrombosis, swelling, and weight gain.
4) The packaging is more modest than Jess's. But it doesn't cost 500 rubles))
But this is not all the “delights”. If you have been taking Dimia for more than a year, you can expect the following:
- Dry skin . To some extent, I also encountered this problem. But I can’t say that my skin condition is catastrophic, so I can put up with this side effect.
- Cellulite. This somehow passed me by, fortunately. But everyone’s body is different, so keep that in mind.
— Varicose veins and rosacea (venous mesh). This is probably a side effect of all the hormones. I developed a venous network six months after starting to use the drug. It's not pretty, but in my case it's not very pronounced. I advise you to take aspirin (Aspirin Cardio or CardioMagnil), as well as venotonics and venoprotectors.
- Liver problems . Like any drug that is metabolized in the liver, Dimia affects its health. You need to be prepared for the fact that Essentiale is your faithful, lifelong companion.
I don’t consider taking hormonal drugs, including Dimia, completely safe and the only reasonable thing... Especially if you haven’t given birth yet... since after taking the pills before my first pregnancy, I couldn’t get pregnant for a whole year - my ovaries were dormant.
In addition, the ethical side of the issue must be considered by you. For me, the debate about the abortifacient effect of the drug is very relevant, but having my modest knowledge, I want to believe that this is unfounded. Moreover, the ultrasound shows that my ovaries are sleeping. This is the only discomfort from taking the pills, but it is purely moral, and I want to believe it is groundless .
I didn't find any more cons. Next, some advantages...
1) I no longer have a fear of getting pregnant now, while pregnancy is undesirable for me (I’m still learning). But when I finish my studies, God willing, we are planning to give birth to a third)
2) My libido has not decreased, even a little on the contrary))) My husband is not disgusting to me and I don’t feel pregnant)) Yes, yes, on other drugs this is exactly the feeling that haunted me.. I didn’t want anything, just sleep and eat))
3) I forgot about painful periods and ovulation. Now, while taking inactive pills, she smears for 2-3 days, that’s all for her period) There are no complexes or fears that something will leak somewhere))
4) The skin has improved, become more even and matte. My hair gets less oily and I hardly sweat. Although, I must admit, I had no problems before.
5) I don’t swell anymore, the pigment spots I got from Janine are gone..
6) The dosage regimen is convenient; you need to take it in a certain sequence and without interruption, which eliminates the possibility that you will not start a new pack on time.
7) The cost of these tablets is about 550 rubles per cycle. It’s half the price of Jess, and if you buy it in a 3-month package, like I did, the benefits are even more obvious.
I repeat that the gynecologist will not give you a 100% suitable recommendation regarding your choice. Contact your doctor to identify contraindications and for advice, but the drug itself will most likely have to be chosen by trial.. This is the only way. Hormone analysis will not guarantee a certain reaction of the body to a specific hormonal drug, unless, of course, you are taking OK for the purpose of hormonal correction. Hormone tablets are still a synthetic analogue, and the reaction may be different.
For me now this is the best option. I'm always in shape, I'm in a good mood, I love my husband and children and I don't suffer from PMS))
I recommend it, especially if you are already taking Jess and are happy with everything, but the price is too expensive))

My first contraceptives were DIMIA for several reasons:
- affordable price (600₽)
- microdosed
- with a powerful antiandrogenic effect (against acne)
- antimineralocorticoid effect (against edema)
I chose it myself, not because I’m irresponsible or lazy, but because the doctor told me so
