About Ginette 35 Tablet 21's

Ginette 35 Tablet 21's is an oral hormonal combination, containing Ethinylestradiol and Cyproterone used to treat symptoms of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) such as acne, excessive hair growth (hirsutism), and irregular periods.

Ginette 35 Tablet 21's is a combination of two hormonal medications, ethinylestradiol, and cyproterone used to treat PCOS symptoms such as acne, excessive hair growth (hirsutism), and irregular periods.

Disease/Condition Glossary

PCOS: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common condition, which affects how women's ovaries work. It is characterized by irregular and painful periods, excess androgen in the blood (leading to excessive facial hair and acne), and polycystic ovaries (ovaries become enlarge and the egg become surrounded by fluid-filled sacs).

Contraception: It is a procedure that aims to prevent pregnancy. A woman can only get pregnant if a man sperm fertilizes her egg. Contraception aims to prevent this from happening by keeping egg and sperm apart by stopping egg production or not letting the uterus wall become thick. As a result, no fertilization takes place, so contraception is a safe method for family planning.
