How Giane 35 works
Giane 35 is a combination of two hormonal medicines: Cyproterone and Ethinyl Estradiol which treats PCOS symptoms such as acne, excessive hair growth (hirsutism) and irregular periods. Cyproterone works by blocking the overproduction of androgens (male hormones) in the ovaries, thereby reducing unwanted hair growth and acne. Ethinyl Estradiol enhances the effect of Cyproterone by reducing the amount of androgens in the blood. Together, they also regularize the menstrual cycle in PCOS.

Mode of Action
Cyproterone is a progestogen with anti-androgenic properties.Oestradiol is the major oestrogen in pre-menopausal women. Ethinylestradiol has similar actions as oestradiol. It is responsible for the development and maintenance of female reproductive system and secondary sexual characteristics. It also inhibits anterior pituitary by negative feedback effect and causes capillary dilation, fluid retention and protein anabolism.
Precaution
Prostate cancer, hepatic impairment, DM, history of depression, familial defects in lipoprotein metabolism, CV diseases. Monitor LFT, adrenocortical function, LDL and HDL levels, and RBC count during treatment. In women: Interrupt treatment if persistent or recurrent bleeding occurs to exclude the possibility of organic diseases. May increase risk of thrombo-embolic diseases.

Depressive mood changes. Alterations in hair pattern, skin reactions. Fatigue and lassitude, breathlessness, wt changes.
Interaction
Metabolism may be reduced by inhibitors of CYP3A4 e.g. ketoconazole, itraconazole, clotrimazole, ritonavir. Inducers of CYP3A4 e.g. rifampicin, phenytoin may reduce the levels of cyproterone. CYP1A2 and CYP3A4 inducers such as aminoglutethimide, carbamazepine, phenobarbital, and rifampin may decrease the effects of estradiol. May enhance the effects of hydrocortisone and prednisolone when used together. Altered anticoagulant effect when used with dicoumarol. Potentially Fatal: Antibiotics (ampicillin, tetracycline, sulphonamides and chloramphenicol) can cause intermenstrual bleeding or failure of contraception.
