What is Dianette?

Dianette is a specialized medication primarily prescribed for women of reproductive age suffering from severe acne that has not responded to oral antibiotics or topical treatments, as well as mild forms of hirsutism (excess body or facial hair).

In my practice, I frequently see the profound impact these conditions have on a patient's self-esteem, making effective and consistent treatment crucial.

Active Ingredient

The tablets contain two active ingredients: cyproterone acetate (an anti-androgen) and ethinylestradiol (an estrogen).

The anti-androgen works by blocking the receptors for male hormones which stimulate sebum production and hair growth.

Dianette is available in packs of 3 x 21 tablets and 6 x 21 tablets , each containing 2 mg of cyproterone acetate and 35 mcg of ethinylestradiol.

Indications

  • Severe acne accompanied by seborrhoea or inflammation
  • Mild hirsutism
  • Providing contraceptive protection in women being treated for the above conditions

How to obtain Dianette legally online?

Many patients ask me if they can buy this medication over the counter. Legally and safely, you cannot.

However, you can obtain it without a prescription from your own GP through an online doctor service.

Here is how the digital prescription process works through a partner pharmacy:

  1. Step 1: Choose your medication - Select the appropriate pack size of Dianette (such as the 3 x 21 or 6 x 21 month supply) on the platform.
  2. Step 2: Complete the medical questionnaire - You will fill out a detailed health assessment. As a doctor, I cannot stress enough how important it is to be honest here, especially regarding your blood pressure and family history of blood clots.
  3. Step 3: Doctor review - An EU-registered doctor will review your answers to ensure the medication is safe for you to take.
  4. Step 4: Delivery - Once approved, the certified pharmacy dispenses and ships your medication discreetly to your door.

Dosage and Usage

Taking this medication correctly is vital for both its effectiveness against acne and your contraceptive protection. In my clinical experience, setting a daily alarm helps patients maintain the strict routine required for hormonal treatments.

The standard dosage is one tablet daily for 21 days, followed by a 7-day pill-free break during which you will typically experience a withdrawal bleed. You should take the pill at the same time each day.

  • Dianette 2 mg / 35 mcg (3-month supply): 3 x 21 tablets
  • Dianette 2 mg / 35 mcg (6-month supply): 6 x 21 tablets

It is important to note that you should not take another hormonal contraceptive concurrently. Once your acne or hirsutism has completely resolved, clinical guidelines suggest stopping Dianette 3 to 4 cycles later to minimize long-term risks.

Side Effects

Common side effects

  • Nausea and abdominal pain
  • Weight fluctuations and fluid retention
  • Headaches or migraines
  • Breast tenderness or enlargement
  • Mood changes, including depressive moods

Rare side effects

  • Liver function abnormalities

When to contact a doctor?

Stop taking the pill and contact a doctor right away.
