Should i take some other medicine along with DIane-35 in hormonal imbalance?
Patient: I have been suffering from hormonal imbalanced problem since 10-15 yrs. I get pimples after period becoz i have high progesterone . I have been on Diane-35 for the past 10 months but still im not cured completely. Should i take some other medicine along with DIane-35 or just continue with the same. if i need to continue with same medicine then for how long?? Doctor: Hi! Welcome to healthcareMagic forum, If you have a hormonal imbalance then diane 35 usually works if you have taken it for more than 6 months or so.If diane alone doesn't work then you need to get all your hormonal profile done along with serum insulin level.Drugs like spironolactone or metformin can be added to your prescription if needed.If your acne is sever then even retinoids can be added.All these needs a consultation with both an endocrinologist and dermatologist together.Along with this topical medicines too should be added.Drink plenty of water and have a good 7 hr sleep at night.  take care, Dr.Chawda
