What is your daily dosage of Cyproterone Acetate? I know Diane 35 only
has 2mg, and the usual daily dose for CA is 50mg and up. I was
considering using CA two years ago, bu its uge price made me reconsider.
Now I take 50mg Spironolactone and Diane 35.
Diane, unlike other BCPs, helped a lot with my belly cramps, but has
been causing some spotting before my period.
