    GlossaryDiane (Co-cyprindiol)

    medication combining cyproterone acetate and ethinylestradiol for acne and hirsutism

    Diane, also known as Diane-35, is a medication that combines cyproterone acetate and ethinylestradiol. It is primarily used to treat severe acne and hirsutism (excessive hair growth) in women, and it also functions as a contraceptive. The cyproterone acetate component acts as an anti-androgen, reducing the effects of male hormones that can cause acne and hair growth, while ethinylestradiol is a synthetic estrogen that helps regulate the menstrual cycle.
