Brief Answer:
No major drug interactions

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for the query.
I understand your concern.
Diane 35 are combined hormonal contraceptive pills containing cyproterone acetate and ethinyl estradiol.
As per available literature, there are no major drug interactions between Diane 35 and cremaffin.
So, you can take them as prescribed, but better to maintain at least one hour gap between intake of these two drugs to avoid any unknown minor drug interactions.
Take care.
