Cyproterone Acetate + Ethinyl Estradiol Tablet

Cyproterone Acetate + Ethinyl Estradiol Tablet comes with the brand name “Fertilude CE New”. It is a medication combining two hormones, ethinylestradiol, and cyproterone, commonly used to treat symptoms of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) which include acne, excessive hair growth (hirsutism), and irregular periods. 

Cyproterone works by blocking the production of a male hormone called androgen in the ovaries, which helps reduce unwanted facial hair growth and acne. Ethinylestradiol enhances cyproterone’s effect by reducing the number of androgens in the blood. Cyproterone Acetate + Ethinyl Estradiol Tablet effectively alleviates the symptoms of PCOS by regulating hormone levels.
