womens' ovaries gradually produce less and less oestrogen in the period up to the menopause, and oestrogen blood levels decline as a result.

oestrogen (in this case in the form of estradiol valerate) can be given as a supplement to replace the falling levels in the body and help reduce these distressing symptoms of the menopause. as a result, this medicine should not be used as a first-line option for preventing postmenopausal osteoporosis in women over 50.

however, in december 2003, a review of the available evidence on the risks and benefits of hrt by the medicines and healthcare products regulatory agency (mhra) and the committee on safety of medicines (csm) in the uk, concluded that the risks of using hrt long-term to prevent osteoporosis in women aged over 50 years exceed the benefits.

cyclo-progynova is a sequential form of combined hrt.

medical information

cyclo-progynova is a hormone replacement therapy (hrt) preparation. this means that oestrogen is taken on a continuous basis and progesterone is added for a portion of each month. however, it may be used as a second-line option for women at high risk of fractures who cannot take other medicines that are licensed for preventing osteoporosis. this is because in women with an intact womb, oestrogen stimulates the growth of the womb lining (endometrium), which can lead to endometrial cancer if the growth is unopposed. hrt is usually only required for short-term relief from menopausal symptoms and its use should be reviewed at least once a year with your doctor

a progestogen (in this case in the form of norgestrel) is needed as part of hrt for women who have not had a hysterectomy. estradiol valerate (previously spelt oestradiol valerate in the uk) and norgestrel are forms of the main female sex hormones, oestrogen and progesterone. this type of hrt is more suitable for women who are still having irregular periods, because it usually results in a monthly withdrawal bleed in the pill-free week.. the brown tablets taken in the next 10 days of each cycle contain both estradiol and norgestrel. the declining levels of oestrogen can cause distressing symptoms, such as irregular periods, hot flushes, night sweats, mood swings and vaginal dryness or itching. the declining level of oestrogen at menopause can affect the bones, causing them to become thinner and more prone to breaking. estradiol valerate is a naturally occuring form of oestrogen and norgestrel is a synthetic form of progesterone. a progestogen is given to oppose oestrogen's effect on the womb lining and reduce the risk of endometrial cancer, though it does not eliminate this risk entirely.

you can read more about the risks and benefits of hrt and other medicines for preventing osteoporosis in the factsheets about menopause and osteoporosis linked below.

hrt is also sometimes used to prevent osteoporosis in postmenopausal women. the white tablets contain estradiol valerate and the pale brown tablets contain estradiol valerate in combination with norgestrel.

diane-35r meanwhile contains two female hormones, estrogen and progestin. your doctor will advise you.

medical information:

with diane-35r, you have the unique combined benefit of contraception and anti-acne treatment.

how does diane-35 work as a contraceptive pill?

the cyclical production of the female hormones and the maturation of a follicle (egg) in the ovaries are controlled by a small organ (size about 1 cm) connected to the brain, the pituitary gland. these are similar to the natural hormones women produce in their ovaries.

diane-35r is a contraceptive pill that doubles as a very effective acne treatment.after about three months your acne clears.essentially, diane-35r works by regulating your hormones: estrogen and progestogen (reproductive hormones) and androgen (which can cause acne, by prompting excess oil production in your skin). a pill like diane-35r has also a very beneficial effect on problem skin, and a lot of girls now take it to keep acne at bay. this hormonal feedback mechanism is based on the same principle which blocks the maturation and release of further eggs during pregnancy. contraception remains effective on the 7-day pill-free period. all products are authentic brand names and will include a product information insert in english.

how does diane-35 clear your skin?

suitable treatment for acne in women, diane-35r has a clearly recognizable effect on the reduction of sebum production by blocking the effect of androgen (male sex hormones) on your skin.

the pituitary gland is not able to distinguish the hormones contained in diane-35r from those produced by the ovaries. this two-in-one solutions package solves two of your concerns at one go. it, therefore, stops inducing the natural hormone production by the ovaries and eventually the process of egg growth and release
