Key points

  • The cyproterone acetate and ethinylestradiol combination carries a known venous thromboembolism risk that regulators weigh against its benefits in specific patient groups.
  • Cyproterone acetate appears here only in combination with ethinylestradiol, not as a standalone ingredient.
  • The same 2 mg plus 35 microgram formulation is also sold under the name Ginette-35.

How does the combination work?

Cyproterone acetate reduces the effect of androgens on the skin, the hormonal stimulation behind acne and excess hair growth. Ethinylestradiol suppresses ovulation, providing the contraceptive action. Together they address both concerns in one tablet within the Women’s Health category.
