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.
