Dianette is a special drug prescribed for acne in women when their skin does not respond to any other treatment. It is a combination of two drugs – Cyproterone acetate and Ethinylestradiol. Dianette reduces the number of androgens produced in the body and thereby clears up the acne.
Dianette is known to be effective in treating acne in women. It is especially useful for those whose skin has not responded to any other treatment.
Dianette contains two active ingredients - cyproterone acetate and ethinylestradiol.
Cyproterone acetate belongs to the class of medicines called anti-androgen. Androgens are male sex hormones that stimulate skin growth and the growth of sebaceous glands on the skin which sebum. Cyproterone reduces the creation and actions of androgens. Therefore, it results in less sebum production. This makes the skin less greasy and stops acne formation.
Dianette tablets are supplied in a calendar pack. This pack is marked with the days of the week. Take one pill daily for 21 days. You will then have a seven-day break.
