Cyproterone acetate/ethinylestradiol is a medication that combines two active ingredients, cyproterone acetate, and ethinylestradiol. It is commonly used to treat conditions such as acne and excessive hair growth in women of reproductive age. Cyproterone acetate blocks the effects of male sex hormones, reducing the production of androgens, while ethinylestradiol works by inhibiting ovulation. This combination helps regulate the menstrual cycle and improve symptoms associated with androgen excess.
This medication is suitable for women who are dealing with hormonal imbalances leading to acne, hirsutism (excessive hair growth), or menstrual irregularities.
