Manufacturer and product registration holder 10. Date of Revision WHAT GIANE 35 IS USED FOR GIANE 35 is used to treat the following androgen-dependent conditions in women of reproductive age: • moderate to severe acne when other treatments have failed • mild to moderate increased growth of facial or body hair (hirsutism) Since Giane 35 is also a hormonal contraceptive, it should not be used in combination with other hormonal contraceptives. HOW GIANE 35 WORKS Ethinyl estradiol: Estrogens are responsible for the development and maintenance of the female reproductive system and secondary sexual characteristics. Androgens are male sex hormones, produced by women in small amounts. If a woman's body produces too much of these hormones or is overly sensitive, then androgen-dependent conditions occur. Giane 35 works by blocking the action of these hormones. BEFORE YOU USE GIANE 35 - _When you must not use it _ You should not use this medicine if you have: • Hypersensitivity to any ingredients of Giane 35 tablet • Unexplained vaginal bleeding • Cancer that may grow under the influence of sex hormones (e.g. cancer of the breast or genital organs) • Severe liver disease including yellowing of skin and eyes or liver tumor • Have or previously have blood clot in the leg, lung, heart attack or stroke • Diabetes involving blood vessels • Having severe or multiple risk factor for blood clot in blood vessels • Migraine or severe headache • Disturbance of visual or hearing • Chest pain or tightness • Pending operations (6 weeks beforehand) • Immobilization (eg. following accidents) • Hepatitis (liver inflammation) • Itchiness • Increases in seizur Lue koko asiakirja
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION 6.0 mm, white, round biconvex tablet, one side having ‘R’ logo and other side contains break line. PHARMACODYNAMICS Mode of Action: Ethinyl estradiol: Estrogens are responsible for the development and maintenance of the female reproductive system and secondary sexual characteristics. Estrogens modulate the pituitary secretion of gonadotropins, luteinizing hormone, and follicle-stimulating hormone through a negative feedback system. Estrogen increases levels of sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) and may reduce unbound androgen levels. Ethinyl estradiol is a synthetic derivative of estradiol. The addition of the ethinyl group prevents rapid degradation by the liver. Cyproterone: Steroidal compound with antiandrogenic, antigonadotropic and progestin-like activity PHARMACOKINETICS CYPROTERONE ACETATE Following oral administration cyproterone acetate is completely absorbed in a wide dose range. The ingestion of GIANE-35 effects a maximum serum level of 15mg cyproterone acetate/ml at 1.6 hours. Thereafter, drug serum levels decrease in two disposition phases characterized by half-lives of 0.8 hours and 2.3 days. The total clearance of cyproterone acetate from serum was determined to 3.6 ml/min/kg. Cyproterone acetate is metabolized by various pathways including hydroxylations and conjugations. The main metabolite in human plasma is the 15ß-hydroxy derivative. Some dose parts are excreted unchanged with bile fluid. Most of the dose is excreted in form of metabolites at a urinary to biliary ratio of 3:7. The renal and biliary excretion was determined to proceed with a half-life of 1.9 days. Metabolites from plasma were eliminated at a similar rate (half-life of 1.7 days). Cyproterone acetate is almost exclusively bound to plasma albumins. About 3.5-4.0 % of total drug levels are present unbound. Because protein binding is non-specific, changes in SHBG (sex hormone binding globulin) levels do not affect the pharmacokinetics of cyproterone acetate. Due to the long half-life of the terminal disposi Lue koko asiakirja
