What does it do?

Drospirenone belongs to the synthetic progestin class and is used for regulating the menstrual cycle and contraception. It is primarily used in combination oral contraceptives along with estrogen.

Drospirenone works similarly to natural progesterone in the body, suppressing ovulation and inducing changes in the uterine lining. Additionally, it has a diuretic effect that reduces fluid retention, thereby helping maintain hormone balance.

Approved uses differ by product. Check each product's information for its actual use.

Good to know

Unlike other synthetic progestins, drospirenone has anti-androgenic and anti-mineralocorticoid effects, resulting in fewer side effects and alleviating fluid retention.
