Patient summary
Cyproterone with ethinylestradiol as a film-coated tablet, used in the management of acne and hirsutism. An anti-androgen paired with an oestrogen.
Mechanism of action
Cyproterone acetate blocks androgen receptors and reduces androgen production, while ethinylestradiol increases sex hormone-binding globulin, decreasing free androgen levels to manage acne and hirsutism.
Diane 35 is a hormonal medication containing Cyproterone and Ethinylestradiol, used for the management of Acne and Hirsutism. The same active ingredients are also sold under the brand name Dianette, provided as a tablet in a 2/0.035mg strength.
Buying Diane 35 online
While generic versions of Cyproterone and Ethinylestradiol are often more affordable and typically manufactured in India, many patients prefer this Bayer formulation for its specific quality and consistency.
