Diane-35
	Price: $ 20.95

   Each tablet contains a small amount of two different hormones. These are cyproterone acetate (a progestogen with antiandrogenic properties) and ethinylestradiol (an estrogen). Because of the small amounts of hormones, DIANE-35 is considered a low-dose preparation.

   DIANE-35 is used for the treatment of androgen-dependent diseases in women, such as acne (where oral antibiotics or local treatment alone has not been successful), androgenic alopecia and mild forms of hirsutism. It is especially useful for pronounced forms of acne and those accompanied by seborrhoea or by inflammation or formation of nodes (acne papulopustulosa, acne nodulocystica).

   DIANE-35 is also used for oral contraception in women requiring treatment for these androgenic conditions; it is not recommended just for contraception.

   Take your tablet at about the same time each day, with some water if necessary. Follow the direction of the arrows until all 21 tablets have been taken. During the next 7 days you take no tablets. A period should begin during these 7 days (the withdrawal bleed). Usually it will start on day 2-3 after the last DIANE-35 tablet. Start taking your next pack on the 8th day even if your period continues. This means that you will always start new packs on the same day of the week, and also that you will have your withdrawal bleed on about the same day each month.
