4 CLINICAL 
PARTICULARS 

4.1 THERAPEUTIC 
INDICATIONS 
Treatment of moderate to severe acne
related to androgen-sensitivity (with or without 
seborrhoea) and/or hirsutism, in women of reproductive age. 

For the treatment of acne, co-cyprindiol should only be used
after topical therapy or 
systemic antibiotic treatments have failed. 

Since co-cyprindiol is also a hormonal contraceptive, it should
not be used in 
combination with other hormonal contraceptives (see section 4.3).  

4.2 
POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION 
Co-cyprindiol inhibits ovulation and thereby prevents conception.
Patients who are 
using co-cyprindiol should not therefore use an additional
hormonal contraceptive, as 
this will expose the patient to an excessive dose of hormones and
is not necessary for 
effective contraception.  

_First treatment course:_  One tablet daily for 21 days,
starting on the first day of the 
menstrual cycle (the first day of menstruation counting as
Day 1). 

_Subsequent courses:_  Each subsequent course is started
after 7 tablet-free days have 
followed the preceding course. 

When the contraceptive action of co-cyprindiol is also to
be employed, it is essential 
that the above instructions be rigidly adhered to.  Should
bleeding fail to occur during 
the tablet-free interval, the possibility of pregnancy must
be excluded before the next 
pack is started. 

When changing from an oral contraceptive and relying on
the con
