Frequently asked questions about drospirenone

Drospirenone is a prescription birth control pill, used to prevent pregnancy. Drospirenone is a synthetic form of the progestin hormone, which helps regulate the menstrual cycle and prevents the release of eggs from the ovaries.

It is important to note that while oral contraceptives such as drospirenone offer significant benefits, they do not protect against sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Talk to your doctor about your health history and any medication you are currently taking before you start taking a birth control pill.

Drospirenone is primarily prescribed as a form of birth control used to prevent pregnancies.

Aside from being used as a method of birth control, drospirenone tablets can:

  • Treat premenstrual dysphoric disorder (anxiety, depression, and stress in the days leading up to your period)
  • Decrease the risk of ovarian and endometrial cancers
  • Decrease the risk of ovarian cysts
  • Improve acne
  • Make periods lighter, shorter, and more regular
  • Reduce menstrual cramps

It is important to note that while birth control pills like drospirenone offer significant benefits, they do not protect against sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Talk to your doctor about your health history and any medication you are currently taking before you start taking drospirenone.

Drospirenone tablets contain a synthetic form of the hormone progestin, a natural hormone released by the ovaries to control menstruation and other functions of the reproductive system. By releasing progestin into the body, drospirenone stops a woman’s egg from fully developing in the uterus. This means that the egg is unable to be fertilized by sperm, which prevents pregnancy. Drospirenone also works by changing the cervical mucus in the lining of the uterus. This action can also make it considerably more difficult for sperm to fertilize an egg.

You may experience some mild side effects while taking drospirenone. Talk to your doctor if these reactions become severe, or do not go away within a few days.

Common reactions reported while taking drospirenone include:

  • Irregular vaginal bleeding
  • Breast tenderness
  • Change in menstruation
  • Bloating
  • Weight changes
  • Acne

This is not a complete list of adverse reactions. Seek medical attention right away if you experience vision changes, headaches, vomiting, shortness of breath, dizziness, chest pain, or other more severe symptoms while taking drospirenone.

As with all prescription medication, be sure to inform the prescribing doctor about any medical conditions you have been previously diagnosed with and any medication/ supplements you are currently taking before taking drospirenone. Drospirenone can interact with other forms of medication, causing potentially serious side effects. In addition, let your doctor know if you are pregnant or plan on becoming pregnant before starting treatment with this medication.

Drospirenone is supplied as an oral tablet. One oral drospirenone tablet should be taken every day for 28 days. Take these tablets at the same time every day. Birth control pills like drospirenone are usually taken once a day for 21-24 days, with 4-7 inert (or placebo) pills being taken during the span of your monthly period.

Do not discontinue or increase your dosage of drospirenone without consulting your doctor first. Birth control pills are only effective if taken every day at about the same time. If you stop using drospirenone tablets, your fertility will return to normal, and you may experience some adverse side effects from the sudden hormone changes in your body.

Take the medication exactly as prescribed and inform your doctor if you begin to experience any side effects while taking the medication.

Drospirenone is currently only available via prescription. This means the use of this drug must be authorized by a licensed health care provider.
