Contraceptive Pills for Acne Treatment

Contraceptive Pills can improve acne condition. Women using contraceptives experience more improvement during acne than do women using other oral pills. These contraceptives vary in their ability to improve acne. Pills containing certain hormones appear to have a better effect on acne than do other pills.

Studies comparing one pill versus another are needed; most studies to date have compared one pill versus a placebo. Since oral contraceptives improve acne, therefore, they should be considered as a treatment for women with acne who also want contraception.

This will give women a dual advantage - to be able to prevent pregnancy and acne.

ORTHO TRI-CYCLEN is an U.S FDA (Food and Drugs Administration) approved contraceptive that treats acne by decreasing the level of hormones that contribute to the development of acne.

Also serves the purpose of pregnancy prevention, which also is the only oral contraceptive cleared in the U.S. for the acne treatment who desire contraception.
