Hi Kesi,
I am based in the UK and Dianette is avaiable over here very easily. I
have heard that you can order it over the Web (see previous postings).
Sorry I can't help anymore. I believe that Yasmin is avalable in the US
and that is simliar (please correct me if I am wrong anyone as I am not
that sure).
