Dr. Rania Mousa General Medicine
Take your medication(Diane 35) as prescribed ,nothing to worry about concerning your intercourse and taking diane.
This medication contains a combination of two ingredients: cyproterone and ethinyl estradiol. Cyproterone belongs to a group of medications known as antiandrogens. Ethinyl estradiol belongs to a group of medications known as estrogens.
This medication is taken in 28-day cycles consisting of 1 tablet daily for 21 days, followed by a 7-day interval without medication (i.e., 3 weeks on, 1 week off). Tablets should be taken at the same time each day. Treatment is usually started on the first day of menstrual bleeding. Usually, several months of treatment are needed before improvement is seen
It is very important to take this medication on a regular schedule as prescribed by the doctor. The medication will be less effective if you miss doses. If you miss a dose of this medication, and you remember within 12 hours, take the missed dose. If more than 12 hours have passed, discard the missed tablet and continue to take the remaining tablets in the pack at the usual time. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one.
These are the restrictions when taking diane,do not take this medication if you:
-are allergic to cyproterone, estradiol, or any ingredients of the medication
-are or may be pregnant
-have a history of cholestatic jaundice (yellowing of the skin, whites of the eyes caused by problems with bile flow)
-have active liver disease
-have any eye problems caused by blood vessel disease in the eye (such as partial or complete loss of vision or other vision changes)
-have existing or have had blood vessel or blood clotting disorders (including thrombophlebitis, cerebrovascular disease such as stroke, heart attack, and coronary artery disease)
-have had otosclerosis (abnormal bone growth in the ear) that worsened during pregnancy
-have known or suspected breast cancer
-have known or suspected tumours dependent on estrogen
-have or have had liver tumours
-have severe diabetes with blood vessel changes
-have undiagnosed abnormal vaginal bleeding.
