1. WHAT IS THE MEDICINE INTENDED FOR?
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.
