About Brenda-35 ED

Brenda-35 ED is the generic equivalent of Diane-35 ED. It contains cyproterone acetate for anti-androgenic effects, commonly used for acne.

Brenda-35 ED contains ethinylestradiol 35mcg and cyproterone acetate 2mg, making it a generic equivalent of Diane-35 ED. It is used for the treatment of androgen-dependent conditions such as acne vulgaris, seborrhoea, and hirsutism in women of reproductive age.

Brenda-35 ED also functions as a hormonal contraceptive when taken as directed. Women choosing Brenda-35 ED benefit from both cycle regulation and management of skin and hair conditions associated with elevated androgen activity.

Like all cyproterone acetate-containing contraceptives, Brenda-35 ED carries specific prescribing considerations. Your GP will assess your suitability before prescribing and will typically review treatment after the underlying condition has been controlled.
