It is, in fact, not ordinarily available free from the NHS as a contraceptive and must be paid for, as it is not - primarily - presecribed for contraception.

i have just stoped taking dianette. i took it for 4 years previously and actuelly lost wieght when i was on it! that was not because of the pill tho, it was due to a healthy eating plan! it made me feel very low when i started taking it but the symtoms settled after a few months. would't recommend taking this pill long term, and only take it to treat another symtom (acne, eccesive hair growth or pso) as well as for use as a contraceptive, as it is strong and the are lower risk pills available if the only use is as a contraceptive. i got it prescribed free to me as it doubled up as a contraceptive. hope i've helped!
