Diane 35 – Possible Side Effects
Most side effects of Diane-35 ED are not serious. The most common side effects are nausea and vomiting, which may decrease with continued use. Less common are abdominal cramps and bloating, bleeding between periods which usually disappears with the first three months of pill taking, weight gain, breast tenderness, vaginal infection and depression.
In predisposed women, use of the tablets can sometimes cause brownish patches on the face which are made worse by long exposure to the sun. Women who have this tendency should therefore avoid spending too long in the sun.
In individual cases poor tolerance of contact lenses has been reported.
You should immediately stop using Diane-35 ED and immediately consult your doctor if you experience:
* migraine headaches for the first time
* more frequent unusually severe headaches
* disturbance of hearing or vision (for example flickering in front of the eyes)
* first signs of blood clots in the leg (for example unusual pains or swelling of the leg) or chest (stabbing pains on breathing or coughing for no apparent reason)
* a feeling of pain or tightness in the chest
* pending operation (six weeks beforehand)
* immobilization (for example following accidents)
* onset of jaundice, hepatitis or generalized itching
* increase in epileptic seizures
* Pregnancy.
Your doctor will probably advise you to stop using Diane-35 ED if a significant rise in your blood pressure is detected.
Should you have any questions on the use of Diane-35 ED you should discuss these with your doctor.
