Difference between Antimineralocorticoid and Dienogest

Antimineralocorticoid vs. Dienogest

An antimineralocorticoid, MCRA, or an aldosterone antagonist, is a diuretic drug which antagonizes the action of aldosterone at mineralocorticoid receptors. Dienogest, sold under the brand names Natazia and Qlaira among others, is a progestin medication which is used in birth control pills and in the treatment of endometriosis.

Similarities between Antimineralocorticoid and Dienogest

Antimineralocorticoid and Dienogest have 7 things in common (in Unionpedia): Aldosterone, Antiandrogen, Hirsutism, Mineralocorticoid receptor, Progesterone, Receptor antagonist, Steroid.

Mineralocorticoid receptor

The mineralocorticoid receptor (or MR, MLR, MCR), also known as the aldosterone receptor or nuclear receptor subfamily 3, group C, member 2, (NR3C2) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the NR3C2 gene that is located on chromosome 4q31.1-31.2.
