About Diane 35 Tablet

Diane 35 tablet is a combination of two hormonal medications used to treat PCOS symptoms in women such as excessive hair growth, acne, and irregular periods. It also acts as a contraceptive, so avoid using any other pills for contraception.

Uses for Diane-35

Diane 35 pills is a combination medication that aids in the regulation of female androgen production and periods.
This is also useful in treating excessive hair growth and acne efficiently.

How does this 35 Diane work?

Diane 35 tablet combines two hormonal medications, Cyproterone and Ethinyl Estradiol, to treat PCOS symptoms such as acne, excessive hair growth, and irregular periods. Cyproterone works by preventing the excess production of androgens (male hormones) in the ovaries, which reduces unwanted hair growth and acne. Ethinyl estradiol increases the effectiveness of Cyproterone by lowering the level of androgens in the blood. Together, they help to regulate the menstrual cycle in PCOS.
