Hi Jyothi,
Thanks for writing to us.
Genette 35 is an oral contraceptive pill containing cyproterone and ethynyl,estradiol. OCPs have a role to play in adult onset acne or when hormonal derangement is considered to be the cause for acne as in PCOD. Now since your acne has subsided and there are no signs of PCOD, you may stop the medicine. However, I would insist that prior to stopping the pill take your doctor's advice too.
Hope that helps. Take care
