Drospirenone and Ethinyl Estradiol

Drospirenone and Ethinyl Estradiol is a combination birth control pill. It is used as a contraceptive to prevent pregnancy. It also has a number of non-contraceptive uses such as:

• It can treat moderate acne in women who are at least 14 years of age and have started to menstruate.
• Treatment of severe form of PMS known as premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD).

This pill contains a synthetic estrogen (ethinyl estradiol) and progestin (drospirenone). The dual action of Drospirenone and Ethinyl Estradiol over-rides the menstrual cycle of women preventing the ovaries from releasing an egg each month. It also causes changes in the uterine lining and the cervical mucus. It makes the cervical mucus thick making it hard for the sperm to reach the uterus. It makes the uterine lining thin so it will be difficult for the fertilized egg to implant there.
