Diane 35 Description
What is Diane 35?
Diane 35 is a combined oral contraceptive pill that contains ethinyl estradiol and cyproterone acetate. In many countries it is prescribed to treat acne and excessive hair growth (hirsutism) caused by high androgens, while also providing contraception. In the United States, Diane 35 is not FDA approved, so some online pharmacies may offer it as an import or under different brand names. If you are considering it, talk to a clinician to confirm suitability and legal access.
Each blister contains 21 active tablets with ethinyl estradiol 35 mcg and cyproterone acetate 2 mg, followed by 7 inactive pills. The usual schedule is one pill daily for 21 days, then a 7‑day break. Take at the same time each day for best results. Do not skip days or start a new pack without advice from your prescriber.
How it works
Diane 35 works by lowering male hormone activity and reducing skin oil. The antiandrogen component helps with acne and hair growth, while the estrogen part prevents ovulation and offers contraception. Some people notice clearer skin after a few cycles; others may need several months to see the full effect.
Usage in the USA
In the US, doctors may prefer other pills with similar effects since cyproterone acetate is not widely approved. If you are shopping online, ensure the product is legitimate, check that it is labeled for US use, and confirm your prescription with a clinician. A pharmacist can explain if a substitute is more readily available in the United States.
Who should consider it
Diane 35 may be considered for women who want reliable contraception and who also have acne or hirsutism driven by androgens. It is not suitable for everyone. Do not use if you smoke heavily and are over 35, or if you have a history of clots, certain migraines, or liver problems. A clinician will review your medical history before prescribing.
Possible side effects
Possible side effects include nausea, breast tenderness, headaches, mood changes, and breakthrough bleeding. Serious risks are rare but may include blood clots, high blood pressure, and liver problems. Do not use if you have certain cardiovascular risks or allergies. Seek urgent care if you experience chest pain, shortness of breath, or severe headaches.
Real user review
Real user review: “I used Diane 35 for acne and it helped after several cycles. My skin became calmer, and I noticed less oil. The first two packs caused mild nausea, but that eased. It is essential to take it at the same time every day.” Another shopper says, “I wanted strong contraception and clearer skin. It worked, but I had some breakthrough bleeding for a couple of months.”
Safety, interactions and tips
Storage is simple: keep in a cool, dry place away from direct light. Do not share pills with others, and keep them out of reach of children. If you miss a pill, follow the package insert or contact your clinician for steps to prevent pregnancy. Do not use beyond the expiry date.
For safety, discuss current medications, smoking, and medical history with your doctor. Antibiotics or anticonvulsants can affect effectiveness. Some medications may interact with Diane 35. Always read the patient information leaflet and consult a healthcare professional before starting or stopping treatment.
