Diane-35 is a hormonal medication for women that treats androgen-dependent conditions, such as severe acne, oily skin, and excessive hair growth. It also serves as a contraceptive. The active ingredients, Cyproterone Acetate (2 mg) and Ethinylestradiol (0.035 mg) work together to reduce hormone levels, improving skin clarity and reducing hair growth.
Contraceptives
Suggested Use
Uses
- Treatment of severe acne in women, especially those unresponsive to antibiotics
- Management of hirsutism (excessive hair growth)
- Hormonal contraception (not recommended solely for contraception)
Dosage:
1 tablet daily for 21 consecutive days, followed by a 7-day tablet-free interval, during which withdrawal bleeding typically occurs. Treatment can be continued for as long as necessary under medical supervision.
Warning
- Diane-35 is contraindicated in pregnant and breastfeeding women.
- It may increase the risk of blood clots, especially in smokers, women over 35, and those with a history of thromboembolic disorders.
- Avoid use if there is a history of liver disease or liver tumours.
- Consult a doctor if there is a history of cardiovascular issues, migraines, or hormone-sensitive cancers.
- Certain medications (e.g., antibiotics, anticonvulsants) may reduce Diane-35’s effectiveness, so discuss any other treatments with a healthcare provider.
- Possible side effects include nausea, headaches, breast tenderness, mood changes, and weight changes. Seek medical attention if any severe reactions, such as swelling, chest pain, or leg pain occur.
