Asking for Self, Female, 22 years old, Karachi
Doctor has prescribed me Diane 35 and Aldactone. The doctor prescribed me these because of hirsutism. It's been 2 months since I am taking these. The prob is I have noticed spotting after my periods are over. If I see a spot today, next day it will be fine. But after 2 days its again there. Also the next prob is breast pain. My breasts have become sensitive. It hurts sometimes sharp tender pains. Not sure whats wrong. Can anyone please guide. ..
Hi. These are the effects and side effects of these tablets. Many will resolve with time but if it persists please go to your doctor and discuss with him. This a combined preparation of cyproterone acetate with ethinyloestradiol. It has anti-androgenic properties and may be helpful in women who require oral contraception and suffer from acne or hirsutism.
Features of dianette include
* dianette is essentially an oestrogen - dominant oral contraceptive pill and it carries with it an increased risk of venous thromboembolism similar to third - generation progestogens
* there are also some additional concerns that cyproterone acetate may cause liver tumours .
* dianette is not indicated for use solely as an oral contraceptive
* dianette is a treatment for women with severe acne that has not responded to oral antibiotics, or for moderately severe hirsutism
* dianette should be withdrawn 3-4 cycles after the treated condition has completely resolved

* Estrogen component can cause spotting
* If spotting or breakthrough bleeding occurs during the 3 weeks during which this medication is being taken, continue taking this medication. The spotting or breakthrough bleeding is usually temporary. If bleeding is persistent or lasts a long time
