Diane-35

Tablets containing cyproterone and ethinyl estradiol What kind of medication is this? Tablets containing cyproterone and ethinyl estradiol are used to treat women who exhibit severe signs of androgenization, also known as an excess production of the male hormone androgen. This condition can result in conditions such as hirsutism (excess hair) and androgenic alopecia (hair loss), both of which are brought on by an abundance of androgen production. Acne, inflammation, and seborrhea are frequently seen in conjunction with these diseases (greasy skin from too much sebum). Tablets containing cyproterone and ethinyl estradiol can alleviate the symptoms of androgen-dependent disorders in cases where oral antibiotic or local therapy alone has not been effective. While tablets containing cyproterone and ethinyl estradiol can be used for oral contraception at the same time as they are being used to treat androgen-dependent disorders, the use of these medications solely for the purpose of contraception is not recommended. Tablets containing ethinyl estradiol and cyproterone can be used to treat polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), which is another condition that is brought on by an abundance of androgen and is typically accompanied by acne and hirsutism. Before I start using this medication, what should I discuss with my health care providers? Combination birth control pills, such as cyproterone and ethinyl estradiol tablets, have been linked to an increased risk of thrombosis, often known as blood clots. This condition can have severe repercussions depending on the location of the blood clot. There is also a higher likelihood of developing breast cancer. What is the correct way to take this medication? You should take your Cyproterone and Ethinyl Estradiol pills once daily at the same time each day and drink them whole with a glass of water. Be sure to follow the directions that come with the medication. Each bottle of tablets containing cyproterone and ethinyl estradiol comprises 21 pills, and you are instructed to take one pill per day for the first 21 days of treatment. After that, you will have a break of seven days during which you should have a period of menstruation. Even if you haven't put an end to your period yet, you should start a new pack of pills on the day after the seven tablet-free days, which is day 8. If you experience gastrointestinal issues within three to four hours of taking a tablet, such as vomiting or diarrhea, this is the same as skipping a pill and you should take additional contraceptive precautions for the next seven days. For continuous protection against pregnancy, you should continue to take the birth control pills containing ethinyl estradiol and cyproterone. It may take several months for your skin condition to clear up completely or symptoms to be reduced significantly if you are taking Cyproterone and Ethinyl Estradiol tablets for acne or hirsutism. In addition, you may need to take Cyproterone and Ethinyl Estradiol tablets for several monthly cycles before your skin condition is completely cleared up or your symptoms are significantly reduced. You should continue to take the tablets of cyproterone and ethinyl estradiol for as long as your physician instructs you to. You should not take an additional hormonal contraceptive while you are taking tablets containing ethinyl estradiol and cyproterone since doing so will subject you to an excessive amount of hormones and is not required for successful birth control. You should continue to take the tablets containing cyproterone and ethinyl estradiol in order to maintain an effective method of birth control and for as long as your physician advises. If your acne is especially severe, therapy for a longer period of time may be required before the full impact of the medication can be noticed. But, you can anticipate your acne to clear up entirely within a few months. When the acne has cleared up, you may be given the recommendation to continue taking your pills containing ethinyl estradiol and cyproterone for a few more months. After that, you should switch to a different type of oral contraceptive. What can I expect if I forget to take a dose? If you forget to take a dosage of tablets containing cyproterone and ethinyl estradiol and you are less than 12 hours late in doing so, you should take the missed dose as soon as you recall and then continue with your regular dosing schedule. You are not at risk of becoming pregnant at this time. If you have missed a dosage of tablets containing cyproterone and ethinyl estradiol and it has been more than 12 hours since your last tablet, the following recommendations might assist you in determining what action to take: Week 1: If you forget to take a pill, take it as soon as you realize and then take the following one at your regular time. This may mean that you take two tablets on the same day. If you do not take further preventative measures to avoid becoming pregnant in the following week, your ability to prevent pregnancy may be compromised, increasing the likelihood that you will become pregnant. Week 2: If you forget to take a pill, take it as soon as you realize and then take the next one at your regular time. This may entail taking two tablets in a single day. You do not need to take any further steps to avoid becoming pregnant because there is no chance of that happening to you. Week 3: If you forget to take a pill, take it as soon as you realize and then take the next one at your regular time. This may entail taking two tablets in a single day. Take the remaining tablets, and then start the next pack of pills straight away with no rest in between. Even if you do not have bleeding during withdrawal, you will still be protected from becoming pregnant. What potential negative reactions may I have to this medication?
