Dianette is a prescription-only hormonal medication. It is used daily to treat severe, hormone-sensitive skin and hair conditions in women, such as stubborn acne or excessive facial hair growth, and it also functions as an effective oral contraceptive.
Just a quick clarification: Dianette and Diane-35 are identical medications. They contain the exact same active ingredients at the exact same strengths. "Dianette" is simply the brand name used commonly in the United Kingdom and Europe, while "Diane-35" is used in other global regions.
Dianette contains a combination of two active hormones: Cyproterone Acetate (2mg), which blocks male hormones, and Ethinylestradiol (0.035mg), an estrogen:
Suppresses Androgens: Every woman's body naturally produces small amounts of male hormones called androgens. Overactive androgens can overstimulate the sebaceous (oil) glands in your skin, leading to severe acne blockages and excess hair growth. Cyproterone blocks these signals.
Reduces Oil Production: By calming these hormone signals, Dianette dramatically reduces excessive skin oil (sebum) production, allowing stubborn acne to clear up and slowing down abnormal hair growth.
Prevents Pregnancy: The hormone combination stops your ovaries from releasing an egg each month, thickens cervical mucus to block sperm, and alters the womb lining, making it an effective birth control pill.
Severe Acne Management: Treating stubborn, deep cystic acne that has failed to improve after long-term antibiotic treatments or topical creams.
Hirsutism: Reducing excessive, coarse hair growth on the face, chest, or back in women.
Oral Contraception: Providing reliable birth control while simultaneously treating hormone-related skin conditions.
Because it is a combination hormonal medication, you must never use Dianette if you have a history of:
Blood clots in your legs (Deep Vein Thrombosis), lungs (Pulmonary Embolism), or other parts of your body.
A stroke, transient ischemic attack (mini-stroke), or a heart attack.
Severe liver disease or unexplained vaginal bleeding.
Breast cancer or any other hormone-sensitive cancers.
Pregnancy or Breastfeeding: Dianette must strictly be stopped immediately if you become pregnant, and it should not be used while nursing.
To maintain steady hormone levels, you must take exactly 1 tablet every single day at the exact same time of day for 21 days in a row, followed by a 7-day break.
The Calendar Wheel: Follow the arrows and days of the week printed on the blister pack wrapper to track your daily tablets easily.
The 7-Day Break: After finishing all 21 tablets in the pack, stop taking tablets for exactly 7 days. During this pill-free week, you will experience a light "withdrawal bleed" similar to a regular period. Start your next fresh pack exactly on the 8th day, even if you are still bleeding.
1.Take your first tablet on Day 1 of your cycle:The Start Window.
To ensure immediate pregnancy protection, swallow your very first tablet on the very first day of your natural menstrual bleeding.
2.Swallow 1 tablet at the same time daily:Daily Timing.
Swallow your tablet whole with water at the same time every day (for example, right before bed) with or without food.
3.Pause for 7 days after the pack finishes:The Pack Break.
After taking all 21 tablets, stop taking pills for exactly 7 days. Your withdrawal bleed will usually begin during this break.
4.Begin a fresh pack exactly on the 8th day:The Restart.
Open a completely new blister pack exactly 7 days after your last one finished, keeping your weekly starting day identical.
As your body's endocrine (hormone) system adjusts to the cycle, you may notice mild updates early on:
Temporary breast tenderness, mild enlargement, or slight mood swings.
Mild nausea, a brief headache, or slight changes in body weight.
Light spotting or unexpected breakthrough bleeding between your scheduled periods during the first 2 to 3 months.
What should I do if I forget to take my daily Dianette tablet?
If you are less than 12 hours late, swallow the missed pill immediately and take your next pill at your usual time (even if it means taking two pills in one day). Your pregnancy protection will not be reduced. If you are more than 12 hours late, swallow the missed pill immediately, but use an extra barrier method of contraception (like condoms) for the next 7 days while continuing your daily pack.
Should I take an additional birth control pill alongside Dianette?
No, absolutely not. Dianette is already a highly effective contraceptive pill. Combining it with another oral contraceptive pill will dangerously overdose your body with hormones, massively increasing your risk of severe side effects without offering any extra protection.
How long can I safely stay on Dianette for acne?
Dianette is standardly used for several months to clear up severe skin conditions. Once your acne or excess hair growth has completely cleared up and remained clear for 3 to 4 months, your doctor will usually recommend transitioning you to a standard regular oral contraceptive pill for long-term birth control.
