I have been using the contraceptive pill Dianette for the last 3yrs for two main reasons:

1. its a contraceptive pill.
2. it prevents the body from making too much sebum, which causes greasiness and spots.

HOW DOES IT WORK?-THE SPOT BIT!

Alot of people suffer fromvery greasy, spotty skin. This is because your grease glands may produce too much sebum. This can lead to the grease glands getting blocked, which can then become infected and lead to spots, blackheads and acne. The hormone in Dianette acts as a blocking device to prevent the grease glands from producing too much sebum, hence, no blocked, infected glands and no spots! I also found that Dianette stopped my hair getting so greasy too!! I was a human oil slick!

HOW DOES IT WORK?-THE CONTRACEPTIVE BIT!

As with ordinary oral contraceptives, Dianette prevents the release of eggs, and makes the mucus in the neck of the womb thick, so the sperm cant get through, and makes the lining of the womb unsuitable for an egg to grow on.

Dianette can also be used for women who suffer from excessive hair growth on the face and body,but as with treating the acne, you must use this as a contaceptive pill, dont take other ORAL contraceptives whilst using Dianette

HOW TO TAKE IT

In one box of Dianette, you get 3 packs(3 months worth) of pills containing 21 tabs in each. Take one tablet with water every day, at the same time for 21 days, and then leave a clear 7 day pill free week before starting the next pack.

POSSIBLE SIDE EFFECTS

1. bleeding or spotting between periods
2. headaches
3. feeling sick
4. sore boobs
5. depressive mood swings
6. changes in weight
7. chloasma
8. poor tolerance of contact lenses

As I said, I have been on this pill for 3yrs now, and havent experienced any side effects, but I do have nice clear skin! If you do decide to try Dianette, have a good chat to your gp first, to see if you are suitable for this pill.If you want it as a contraceptive pill foremost, you can get it free on perscription. Otherwise normal perscription charges apply.I hope this helps.

Excellent thorough op. I've just been prescribed this as I have very heavy periods and spots and Microgynon didn't help.
