What are the Diane 35 uses? 

This oral pill is a hormonal contraceptive medication that combines cyproterone acetate and Ethinyl estradiol. It is indicated to women to treat severe cases of acne, oily skin, and excessive body hair (hirsutism) in women of reproductive age.  

In addition, this drug helps treat androgen-dependent conditions like polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) and irregular periods. 

How does Diane 35 work? 

When this tablet is taken correctly and absorbed into the bloodstream, cyproterone acetate works as an anti-androgen that attaches to androgen receptors inhibiting the action of male hormones (e.g., testosterone). Together, these two active substances help to reduce excessive oil production, which helps to clear acne and stop the growth of extra body hair.
