Hello and Welcome to Healthcare Magic!
Ginette 35 tablets contain a combination of ethinyloestradiol, a synthetic oestrogen, and
cyproterone acetate, which is a derivative of progestogen and is also an
antiandrogen.
These two hormones work together to reverse the effects of too much androgen. Although androgens, are primarily male hormones (like
testosterone) women also produce androgens, although in much lower amounts, which are needed for puberty related changes like pubic hair growth, preventing bone loss, libido and for the production of oestrogen. However, some women produce too much androgen and this can cause over production of sebum (oil produced by sebum glands in the skin) which blocks hair follicles causing acne and/or seborrhoea (greasy skin from too much sebum).
Cyproterone in Ginette 35 tablets blocks the production of androgens by the ovaries and binds to the androgen receptors on specific cells in the pilosebaceous units in the skin, containing sebum glands and hair follicles, blocking the over stimulation of sebum and over production of hair by the action of androgens.
The ethinyloestradiol component enhances the effect of cyproterone by reducing the amount of androgens in the circulation, relieving symptoms like acne
Ginette 35 tablets reduce the symptoms of androgen-dependent conditions where oral antibiotic or local treatment alone has not been successful.
Since you are saying ur unmarried it is not safe to take these medications constantly as Ginette also has a
contraceptive action and it may be a hindrance for you to conceive in the future if your getting married.
So please check if your having any symptoms of
Polycystic ovarian disease or visit your
endocrinologist who will help you evaluate your hormones and guide you in treating the acne safely.
Wishing you Good health!
