How Cyproterone works
Ginette 35 Tablet blocks the effect of the natural male hormones on the growth of prostate cells. Ginette 35 Tablet also blocks the undesired effects of androgens in females such as excessive hair growth and acne.
How Ethinyl Estradiol works
Ginette 35 Tablet is a synthetic estrogen (female hormone). In women of reproductive age, it helps in maintaining normal menstrual cycle (periods). In women undergoing menopause, it works by fulfilling the deficiency of estrogen hormone, thereby preventing symptoms such as hot flushes, night sweats and mood swings.
