Dianette contains ethinyloestradiol and cyproterone acetate, synthetic versions of hormones that occur naturally in the body. Dianette is only advised for women who suffer from severe acne but it also works as a contraceptive for these women.
Some treatments contain the same active ingredient but are sold under different names. If the active ingredient and the dosage are the same, the treatments will have the same effect and work in the same way.
