Dienestrol (INN, USAN) (brand names Ortho Dienestrol, Dienoestrol, Dienoestrol Ortho, Sexadien, Denestrolin, Dienol, Dinovex, Follormon, Oestrodiene, Synestrol, numerous others), also known as dienoestrol (BAN), is a synthetic, non-steroidal estrogen of the stilbestrol group used to treat menopausal symptoms in the United States and Europe.[1][2][3][4] It was introduced in the U.S. in 1947 by Schering as Synestrol and in France in 1948 as Cycladiene.[4] Dienestrol is a close analogue of diethylstilbestrol.[5]

Dienestrol diacetate (brand names Faragynol, Gynocyrol, others) also exists and is used medically.[2]
