![]() The ethinyloestradiol component enhances the effect of cyproterone by reducing the amount of androgens in the circulation, relieving symptoms like acne. Cyproterone in Diane 35 tablets blocks the production of androgens by the ovaries and binds to the androgen receptors on specific cells in the pilosebaceous units in the skin (contain sebum-producing sebaceous glands and hair follicles), blocking the androgen-dependent over stimulation of sebum and over production of hair. However, some women produce too much androgen and this can cause over production of sebum (oil produced by sebum glands in the skin) which blocks hair follicles causing acne and/or seborrhoea (greasy skin from too much sebum). Although androgens, are primarily male hormones (like testosterone ) women also produce androgens, although in much smaller amounts, which are needed for puberty related changes like pubic hair growth, preventing bone loss, libido and for the production of oestrogen. These two hormones work together to reverse the effects of too much androgen.

The ethinyloestradiol component enhances the effect of cyproterone by reducing the amount of androgens in the circulation, relieving symptoms like acne and hirsutism. Cyproterone in Diane 35 tablets blocks the production of androgens by the ovaries and binds to the androgen receptors on specific cells in the pilosebaceous unit in the skin (contains sebum-producing sebaceous glands and hair follicles), blocking the androgen-dependent over stimulation of sebum and over production of hair. However, some women produce too much androgen and this can cause hirsutism (unwanted hair) and other unwanted symptoms of androgen overproduction like acne and/or seborrhoea (greasy skin from too much sebum) and androgen-dependent alopecia hair loss ). Androgens have several functions in the female body, including puberty related changes like pubic hair growth, preventing bone loss, libido and for the production of oestrogen.
