Hi,
Althea contains cyproterone, acetate and ethinyl estradiol which is a combined low dose contraceptive pill. It is also known as beauty pill. For its androgenic properties, it can control of acne by decreasing sebum production and excessive hair growth or hirsutism. This pill can be taken anytime when you want or when you need.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
