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, Dianette should only be used after topical
therapy or
systemic antibiotic treatments have failed.
Since Dianette 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
_METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION _
Oral use
_DOSAGE REGIMEN _
_ _
Dianette inhibits ovulation and thereby prevents conception. Patients
who are using
Dianette 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 Dianette 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
contraceptive action of
Dianette, follow the instructions given below:
_Changing from 21-day combined oral contraceptives: _The first tablet
of Dianette
should be taken on the first day immediately after t
