Do you suffer from menstrual cramps? Now you can be relieved since PT Kalbe Farma (JSX: KLBF) has marketed a generic product meant for those who have Endometriosis. PT Kalbe Farma’s introduction of Endrolin (product brand) to various print and electronic media was done today in Jakarta. In the picture dr.

Period Pains
According to dr. Indra Anwar, an Ob-Gyn Specialist from RS Bunda, Menstrual Cramps or Dysmenorrhea is a menstruation disorder suffered by many women. One cause of Dysmenorrhea is Endometriosis or a growth (non-cancer) of endometrium outside the womb. Endometriosis lesion can be found in the Ovaries, Fallopian Tubes and Pelvic Cavity. It can also be found at the Ileum, Colon, Bladder even the Lungs, Spine as well as the Brain. As a result, during a time of menstruation, the areas that have lesions on them will also suffer from hemorrhage.


Endometriosis Treatment
Various ways have been done to treat Endometriosis, some of them include:

1. By giving painkillers
2. By giving medications for the cause
3. Surgery
4. Complementary Therapy

Endrolin / Leuprorelin
Endrolin which contains 3.75mg of Leuprolide Acetate works by depressing the production of Esterogen (female hormone). The hypo-estrogenic condition caused the Endometrium network in and outside the uterus to shrink.

According to an investigation, the hypo-estrogenic condition may decrease symptoms, such as Menstrual Cramps, Abdominal pain and intercourse pain, etc which usually appear because of Endometriosis.

Along with the information acquired from the Press Conference, Endrolin offers women the freedom from conditions caused by Endometriosis including Menstrual Cramps. It also has easy and convenient dosing methods, reversible and light side effects, simple dosage and inexpensive.
