What is Co-cyprindiol?
Co-cyprindiol is prescribed to help with acne, very oily skin, and excessive hair growth in women. It also acts as a contraceptive, offering the same protection as the combined pill, but it's not given just for contraception.
Co-cyprindiol is taken daily for 21 days during your ovulation cycle, followed by a one-week break.
How does Co-cyprindiol work?
Co-cyprindiol is made up of two active ingredients. The first is Ethinylestradiol, a man-made version of oestrogen, and the second is Cyproterone acetate, which acts as an anti-androgen.
Co-cyprindiol helps to combat acne by blocking androgen receptors, which in turn reduces the impact of androgens on your skin. Androgens are hormones that can lead to an excess production of sebum, an oily substance that can cause acne. By preventing these hormones from affecting your skin, Co-cyprindiol helps to control acne.
Androgen can lead to extra hair growing on the face and certain areas of the body. Co-Cyprindiol helps to stop this by using female hormones to balance out the effects of androgen.
The hormones in Co-cyprindiol function much like those in the contraceptive pill. They prevent your ovaries from releasing eggs and alter the lining of the womb, making it harder for an egg to implant. Additionally, these hormones thicken the vaginal fluid, making it more difficult for sperm to move through.
What doses of Co-cyprindiol are there?
Co-cyprindiol comes in just one dose: take one tablet daily for the first 21 days of your cycle, then have a seven-day break. Each tablet includes 2mg of Cyproterone acetate and 35 mcg of ethinylestradiol. If Co-cyprindiol isn't effective for you or if you experience side effects, there are other treatment options like creams and gels. You can discuss these alternatives with our clinician by signing into your account and sending a message.
How long does it take Co-cyprindiol to work?
You'll need to use this treatment for three months to fully benefit from Co-cyprindiol, and you might need to keep using it for a longer period. It's important to have regular check-ups to ensure it's working well.
How long can I take Co-cyprindiol for?
There's no specific duration for taking Co-cyprindiol. You'll probably need to use it for at least three months. After that, our clinician will assess whether you should stop the treatment once your acne has improved, or if switching to another medication would be more beneficial.
What should I do if I make a mistake when taking Co-cyprindiol?
If you're less than 12 hours late taking a pill, simply take it as soon as you remember. Then continue taking the rest of your pills at the usual time. This shouldn't affect your level of contraceptive protection.
However, if you're over 12 hours late taking a pill or have missed more than one, your contraceptive protection might be reduced.
Take the most recent missed pill as soon as you remember, then carry on taking the rest at the usual times. For the next seven days, use an additional contraceptive method. If your current pack finishes before these seven days are up, start the next pack straight away without a break. This means you won't have the usual seven pill-free days, but that's perfectly safe. You won't have a period until you finish the next pack, though you might notice some bleeding on days when you take the pill, which is nothing to worry about.
If you don't have a period after finishing the second pack, it's important to talk to our clinician before starting Co-cyprindiol again, as there might be a chance you're pregnant. In the meantime, you'll need to use a different form of contraception.
How is Co-cyprindiol different from other treatments for acne?
Many acne treatments are available as gels and creams, which can be both messy and take up time. Co-cyprindiol, on the other hand, is an easy-to-take tablet that you only need to take once a day. It's specifically for women and also works as a contraceptive to prevent pregnancy.
Co-cyprindiol is specifically for treating hormonal acne, so it shouldn't be used for acne that's caused by a bacterial infection, for instance.
How is Co-cyprindiol different to other excess hair treatments?
Another option for treating excess hair is a topical cream called Vaniqa. Unlike the Co-Cyprindiol pill, Vaniqa doesn't work by adjusting hormone levels. Instead, it contains an ingredient that blocks an enzyme responsible for excessive hair growth.
Since Vaniqa isn't a hormonal treatment, it doesn't act as a contraceptive like Co-Cyprindiol. Therefore, if you want a solution for excess hair that doesn't prevent pregnancy, Vaniqa might be a more suitable choice.
Is Co-cyprindiol similar to any other treatments?
Co-cyprindiol is quite similar to Dianette. Both have the same active ingredients in identical amounts.
The primary difference between Dianette and Co-Cyprindiol is the branding. They're produced by different companies, which means their packaging varies. Additionally, the non-active ingredients in the tablets are not the same.
The cost of different brands of pills can differ as well. Dianette is a bit more expensive than Co-Cyprindiol.
Who is Co-cyprindiol for?
Co-cyprindiol is intended for women who haven't had success with other acne treatments. It's specifically for acne that hasn't improved with antibiotics and isn't meant for any other use.
It's important not to use this treatment if you're trying to get pregnant.
Do I need a prescription for Co-cyprindiol?
Yes, you'll need a prescription for Co-cyprindiol. This allows our clinician to ensure it's safe for you. It's crucial to check that you're not on any other medication or have any conditions that could be impacted by taking Co-cyprindiol.
It's also important to make sure your acne is caused by hormones and not something else.
Important Information
Co-cyprindiol isn't right for everyone, and there are a few things you should know when using it.
Here's all the official information on it. If anything isn't clear, just let our clinician know, and they can discuss it with you.
