About drospirenone

About drospirenone

What is drospirenone?
Drospirenone (generic Yasmin, Yaz, and Slynd)  is a synthetic form of the hormone progesterone, classified as a progestin. It is commonly used in combination with ethinyl estradiol in oral contraceptives like Yasmin and Yaz, and is also available as a progestin-only option under the brand Slynd.

These contraceptives are primarily prescribed to prevent pregnancy, but certain formulations are FDA-approved for additional uses, such as treating moderate acne and alleviating PMDD symptoms in users who opt for birth control.

Drospirenone is available in the following forms:
- Combination pills with ethinyl estradiol: Often chosen for dual benefits—effective contraception and relief from acne or PMDD.
- Progestin-only pills: Suitable for people who cannot tolerate estrogen-containing options.

Common brand names include Yasmin, Yaz, and Slynd. Each varies slightly in hormone levels, inactive tablet days, and approved indications.

How to get a drospirenone prescription online

Obtaining a drospirenone prescription online involves a few straightforward steps:

  1. Book a virtual visit: Use a telehealth platform like Klarity Health to schedule an appointment with a licensed medical provider.
  2. Medical review: During the visit, the provider will assess your health history and determine if drospirenone is appropriate for you.
  3. Prescription fulfillment: If prescribed, your drospirenone prescription will be sent to your preferred pharmacy for pickup or home delivery.

– Use backup birth control for 7 days if starting mid-cycle

Progestin-only pills (e.g., Slynd):

Follow your provider’s instructions and the guidance on your prescription label.

Drospirenone/ethinyl estradiol (3 mg/0.03 mg)28 tabletsApproximately $32
 (3 mg/0.02 mg/0.451 mg)84 tabletsAround $158

Prices may vary by pharmacy and location. Using pharmacy discount programs or opting for the generic version can significantly reduce costs.

How does drospirenone compare to other medications?

When considering birth control options, it’s important to compare efficacy, side effects, and additional benefits:

MedicationUse CaseSide Effect RiskCost (Generic)Additional Benefits
Drospirenone/ethinyl estradiolContraception, acne, PMDDModerate (blood clots)~$32/28 tabletsAcne improvement, PMDD relief
Levonorgestrel/ethinyl estradiolContraceptionLow to moderate~$20/28 tabletsWidely used, well-tolerated
Norethindrone (progestin-only)ContraceptionLow~$15/28 tabletsSuitable for breastfeeding women

Drospirenone-containing contraceptives are a strong choice for individuals looking for symptom relief alongside birth control, but they may not be ideal for everyone due to clotting risks.
