Clairette

What is Clairette for?

Please note: You can buy the Clairette contraceptive pill for acne and/or hirsutism if you’ve been prescribed it previously and require a repeat prescription.

Please note: You need to have had a face-to-face pill check with your own doctor in the last year with no issues found.

Please note: You cannot buy Clairette from us if you are aged 50 or above. Your doctor may prescribe a mini-pill as an alternative, such as Cerazette.

Clairette is sometimes known as a 'generic Dianette', although it is in fact another brand of medication containing cyproterone acetate and ethinylestradiol. The medication is often prescribed to women suffering with symptoms of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) such as acne or excessive facial hair. Clairette can also aid with regulating periods as well.

What does the Clairette pill treat?

• Moderate to severe acne which hasn’t improved after the use of other anti-acne treatments including topical medications and antibiotics.
• Excessive hair growth on the face and body (also known as hirsutism) in women.
• Female hair loss.

How does Clairette work?

Clairette comprises of two female hormones; an oestrogen and an anti-androgen, cyproterone-acetate. Oestrogen prevents an egg from being released by the ovaries, whilst the anti-androgen inhibits the hormones connected to facial and bodily hair growth as well as the skin’s grease glands, helping to restore balance to the skin.

In studies, women taking cyproterone-acetate and ethinyl-oestradiol for female pattern hair loss ended up with significantly reduced B12 and serum ferritin levels. Patients taking cyproterone acetate and ethinyl-oestradiol responded best (hair re-growth) when their serum ferritin levels were greater than 40 micrograms/L^[1,2]. Therefore, we highly recommend patients should take Florisene while on Clairette as it’s a very effective treatment for lower ferritin levels.

Clairette will work as a protection against sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and only the proper use of condoms can help to do this. Therefore, do not buy Clairette for STI treatment.

How to take Clairette

Each strip of Clairette will have 21 tablets inside – This equates to 3 weeks continuous supply (followed by 7-day break). Each box of medication contains 3 strips/63 tablets – This is 3 months’ supply of Clairette.

Take one tablet each day at approximately the same time of the day. Swallow the tablet whole, with water.

• Follow the direction of the arrows on the strip. Take 1 pill each day, until you have finished all 21 pills.
• You will then have 7 days where you take no pills at all after you have taken all 21 pills in the strip.
• Start taking your next strip of Clairette after the 7 pill-free days (on day 8) – even if you are still bleeding. So if you take the last pill of one pack on a Friday, you will take the first pill of your next pack on the Saturday of the following week.
• Always start the new strip on time.
• As long as you take Clairette correctly, you should always begin taking a new strip on the same day of the week.
