Diane is a combined oral contraceptive pill used primarily to treat severe acne and hirsutism (excessive hair growth) in women of reproductive age. It combines cyproterone acetate, an anti-androgen, with ethinylestradiol, an estrogen. This combination helps to regulate hormonal activity, reducing the symptoms of acne and hirsutism. Diane also acts as a contraceptive.
Adults: One tablet taken daily for 21 consecutive days, followed by a 7-day pill-free interval. During the 7-day interval, a withdrawal bleed similar to a menstrual period usually occurs.
Dosage Adjustments: There are no recommended dosage adjustments; always follow the prescribed schedule.
Take Diane exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider.
Swallow the tablet whole with water, ideally at the same time each day.
Follow the sequence of the days marked on the blister pack to ensure correct administration.
After finishing the 21 tablets in the pack, take a 7-day break during which you will have your withdrawal bleed. Start the next pack after the 7-day break, even if the bleeding has not ended.
Inform your healthcare provider of any allergies or medical conditions, especially a history of blood clots, stroke, heart disease, liver disease, or hormone-related cancers.
Notify your healthcare provider of all medications you are currently taking to avoid potential drug interactions.
Diane should not be used by women who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
Smoking increases the risk of serious cardiovascular side effects from the use of hormonal contraceptives. Women who use Diane are strongly advised not to smoke.
Be aware of the signs of blood clots, including severe headache, chest pain, sudden shortness of breath, and leg pain. Seek immediate medical attention if any of these occur.
Regularly consult with your healthcare provider to monitor your health while using Diane.
If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it is close to the time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and resume your usual dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one.
Use an additional method of contraception (such as condoms) for the first 7 days of taking Diane if starting it for the first time or after a break.
Store Diane at room temperature, away from moisture and heat. Keep it out of reach of children.
Q: What should I do if I miss a dose?
A: Take the missed dose as soon as you remember. If it is close to the time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular schedule. Do not take two tablets to make up for a missed dose. Use additional contraception if you miss doses and have unprotected sex.
