Dianette is commonly prescribed to women with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) who are experiencing symptoms like acne or excessive facial hair. This medication can also assist in regulating menstrual periods. Androgens, which stimulate sebum production and hair growth, are responsible for these symptoms.
