Before applying this drug, the pros and cons must be carefully weighed for each case. Patients with a high degree of concentration in their occupations (such as drivers and machine operators) should be used with caution. This medicine can cause fatigue, diminished energy, and may affect the ability to concentrate. The drug's libido-reducing effect can be weakened by the anti-suppressive effect of alcohol. The drug should not be given until the end of puberty, as its adverse effects on physical growth and the unstable endocrine function axis cannot be ruled out. During treatment, liver function, adrenal function and red blood cell count should be checked regularly. Diabetes patients should be used with caution, and the need for oral anti-diabetic drugs or insulin can vary. Like other sex steroid hormones, individual cases report benign and malignant liver changes. In rare cases, liver tumors can cause life-threatening intra-abdominal bleeding. Therefore, when abnormal epigastric discomfort occurs and cannot disappear by itself in a short period of time, appropriate diagnosis and treatment should be performed. Before the start of treatment, a thorough systemic and gynecological examination (including breast and cervical cytology smears) should be performed. Women of childbearing age must exclude pregnancy. If during the combination treatment a small amount of irregular bleeding occurs within 3 weeks of taking the medication, the medication should not be stopped. However, if there is excessive bleeding, the necessary tests should be performed. After a few weeks of use, the drug gradually restricted male fertility. This ability can be restored months after stopping treatment. In men, it can cause breast enlargement (sometimes with nipple tenderness), which usually subsides after stopping treatment. For women, combined therapy can inhibit ovulation, so infertility and breast bloating may occur. In some cases, hepatic impairment has occurred when treated with high doses of this drug, and some have reported severe impairment. Fatigue, loss of energy, occasional temporary irritability or emotional depression can occur, and weight changes can occur. May occasionally cause shortness of breath. In rare cases, thromboembolism has been reported to be associated with the use of this drug. However, causality seems uncertain.
