Due to its contraceptive properties it should only be prescribed for you if your doctor considers that treatment with a hormonal contraceptive is appropriate. • You should only take this medicine if your skin condition has not improved after use of other anti-acne treatments, including topical treatments and antibiotics. • If you are taking this medicine for skin treatment, you must not take any other hormonal contraceptive at the same time. • When your skin condition has cleared up and you stop taking this medicine, you will need to go back to your original/preferred method of contraception. • Treating skin conditions Androgens are hormones that stimulate hair growth and the grease glands in your skin. If you produce too much androgen, or if you are sensitive to the effect, the grease glands may produce too much sebum. This can block the grease glands, which can become infected and inflamed causing acne spots. It stops the androgens affecting your skin and reduces the amount of androgens produced. • Contraception This medicine is a 21-day Pill – you take one each day for 21 days, followed by 7 days when you take no pills.
