05How It Works
E2Mon CT Tablet is a combination of two hormonal medicines, cyproterone and ethinyl estradiol, which treat PCOS symptoms such as acne, excessive hair growth (hirsutism), and irregular periods. Cyproterone works by blocking the overproduction of androgens (male hormones) in the ovaries, thereby reducing unwanted hair growth and acne. Ethinyl estradiol enhances the effect of cyproterone by reducing the amount of androgens in the blood. Together, they also regularize the menstrual cycle in PCOS.
