Diane 35 (Cyproterone Acetate; Ethinylestradiol) Buyer and Patient Handbook in Singapore

What is Diane 35?

Diane 35 is a combined oral hormonal pill containing cyproterone acetate and ethinylestradiol, classified as a combined oral contraceptive and anti-androgen. It is primarily used to treat Acne, oily skin and Hirsutism in women, and it also provides reliable contraception. The product meets WHO, FDA and EMA quality standards and is available in a 2 mg/.035 mg tablet form.

Who Should Use Diane 35?

• Women of reproductive age seeking both contraception and treatment of androgen-related Skin Conditions.
• Individuals with moderate to severe acne unresponsive to topical therapy.
• Patients with hirsutism (excess facial or body hair).

How Does It Work?

The estrogen component (ethinylestradiol) suppresses the release of follicle-stimulating hormone, preventing ovulation. Cyproterone acetate blocks androgen receptors and reduces androgen production, which diminishes acne and hair growth. Think of it as two brakes working together: one stops the ovary’s cycle, the other slows down the “male-type” hormones that cause skin problems.

Why Choose Diane 35?

• Dual benefit: contraception plus proven anti-androgen effects.
• Once-daily dosing simplifies adherence.
• Offers a cost-effective option compared with separate acne medication and a contraceptive pill. Off-label uses such as treating Polycystic Ovary Syndrome should be discussed with a qualified health professional.
