Diane 35, Prescriptions from Canada, Estrogen & Breast Cancer

[https://users.livejournal.com/pitseleh-----/]

Hello! I have a few questions about Diane-35. My dermatologist prescribed it today for my acne.

- I live in the US and Diane-35 is not available in the US. I have to order this prescription from Canada. Has anyone ever had any experience with ordering prescriptions from Canada? What are some trustworthy websites/pharmacists you have used? Any bad experiences? Is this illegal?!

- Has anyone ever taken or is currently on Diane-35? What have you liked/disliked about it?

- Diane 35 has an estrogen component. My family has a history of breast cancer (on both my mother and father’s side, as well as both males and females in my family). Does estrogen exposure directly relate to an increase risk for breast cancer? I’ve been on HBC for about 6 years but now that I am getting older, I’m starting to worry more about developing breast cancer. I’m also not too sure about the amount of estrogen in Diane-35, if anyone know this, and can compare the amount to other BC’s, that would be awesome!

Don’t know if this will help, but I’m 22, and I am currently taking Tri-Sprintec. Thanks so much!

I've been on Diane for about 4 years now and, as everyone else has said, it's great. Cleared up my acne really well and periods are a breeze. I asked my doctor about any risks from taking it long term, and she said the risk of developing breast cancer is pretty low.
