Estelle 35 is a medicine with hormonal activity (estrogenic and anti-androgenic) and is intended to treat skin problems such as acne, very oily skin and excessive hair growth in women of reproductive age. Estelle 35 is not intended for use in adolescent girls who have not yet begun menstruating. Only take Estelle 35 to treat acne if topical treatment or antibiotics have not worked. THERAPEUTIC GROUP: Estelle 35 belongs to a group of medicines called estrogens and antiandrogens. Androgens are hormones that stimulate hair growth and activity of the sebaceous glands in your skin._ _If your body produces too much androgen, or if you are sensitive to the effect of androgens, the sebaceous glands may produce too much sebum. As a result, the sebaceous glands may become blocked, infected and inflamed, causing acne spots._ _Estelle 35 stops the androgens affecting your skin and reduces the amount of androgens produced. _ _ Although Estelle 35 also acts as a contraceptive, it is not intended only as a contraceptive, unless your doctor has instructed you to use the medicine to treat skin problems such as acne, very oily skin and excessive hair growth in women of reproductive age.
