Drospirenone is a synthetic progestin used in hormonal contraceptives to prevent pregnancy and regulate menstrual cycles, prescribed by OB/GYNs and licensed providers.
Drospirenone is a synthetic hormone similar to natural progesterone. It is commonly combined with estrogen in birth control pills to prevent pregnancy, regulate menstrual cycles, and treat hormonal imbalances.
This medication is primarily used as a component of oral contraceptives. It can help reduce menstrual irregularities, lessen symptoms of hormonal acne, and support hormonal therapy for women with specific conditions.
Drospirenone works by suppressing ovulation, thickening cervical mucus, and thinning the uterine lining. It also has anti-androgenic properties, which can help with acne and excess hair growth. Its unique properties help balance hormones effectively.
