What are the side effects of taking Diane on the body

Many women very much hope to have their own baby, but often at this time they find that getting pregnant is not an easy thing. Sometimes problems with a woman’s body are the reason why she cannot have a baby. If this happens, you should go to the hospital for examination in time and receive treatment based on the specific situation. For example, polycystic ovary disease is one of the reasons why women cannot get pregnant. Generally, doctors will ask women to take the drug Diane in such cases. Diane is an oral contraceptive. Under normal circumstances, medicines have side effects while curing diseases. Now let’s talk about the side effects of taking Diane on the body.

What is Diane 35 used for?

1. Used for contraception.

Diane 35 (ethinyl estradiol cyproterone acetate tablets) achieves a very reliable contraceptive effect by inhibiting ovulation, increasing the consistency of cervical mucus and inhibiting the development of the endometrium, preventing sperm from penetrating the cervix and the development of the fertilized egg.

2. Used for polycystic ovary.

Diane 35 contains very low levels of estrogen (ethinyl estradiol) and progestin (cyproterone acetate), which can reduce signs of androgenization, normalize endocrine parameters, reduce cyst formation and ovarian volume, and help restore regular menstruation.

3. Used to remove acne.

The main ingredient of Diane 35 is cyproterone acetate. Cyproterone acetate and androgens have similar molecular structures and are both steroidal substances. Therefore, cyproterone acetate can compete with androgens for binding to receptors. However, cyproterone acetate is inactive when binding to androgen receptors and will not stimulate the sebaceous glands to secrete sebum, thereby reducing the effect of androgens on acne, preventing the formation of new acne, and promoting the healing of old acne.
