I work as a pharmacy tech in Canada. Diane-35 is indeed a birth control pill, although it is mainly advertised as an acne treatment. The effectiveness of ANY pill can be lowered by certain other medicines, especially antibiotics. If you're on the pill, you should be aware of the possible side effects. And FYI, doctors are REQUIRED to be familiar with ALL current medicines. They can't prescribe a pill they know nothing about. There is no way a doctor would prescribe Diane-35 mistakenly as you stated.

>>��>>��HELLO

>>��THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT INFO FOR ANYONE WHO IS NOW TAKING DIANE 35 AS A FORM OF BIRTH CONTROL.

>>��IT IS NOT A PILL!!! IT IS NOT A BIRTH CONTROL PILL!! IT IS AN ACNE PILL, AND STRICKLTY AN ACNE PILL.
