Get a drospirenone ethinyl estradiol prescription online for birth control

Drospirenone ethinyl estradiol is a prescription medication used to prevent pregnancy. It is also known as a combined oral contraceptive pill (COCP) since it combines an estrogen hormone (ethinyl estradiol) and a progestin hormone (drospirenone) which work together to stop a woman’s ovaries from releasing an egg each month.

While the primary effect of combination birth control pills is to prevent ovulation, the medication can actually thicken cervical mucus as well, which makes it more difficult for sperm to enter the uterus and fertilize an egg. It can also be used to treat acne and premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), a more severe form of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) that often results in severe emotional and physical symptoms.

Drospirenone ethinyl estradiol is available under a number of brand names, including Gianvi, Loryna, Nikki, Ocella, Syeda, Vestura, Yasmin, YAZ, and Zarah. It comes in the form of a tablet to take by mouth.

Drospirenone ethinyl estradiol is an oral contraceptive that is used to prevent pregnancy. It can also treat acne and alleviate the symptoms (both physical and emotional) of PMDD.

Oral contraceptives are not effective at preventing the spread of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), so it is important to use additional forms of contraception to avoid their transmission.

Oral contraceptives such as drospirenone ethinyl estradiol may increase your long-term risk of developing liver tumors and your short-term risk of heart attack, stroke, and blood clots – while reducing your overall risk of ovarian, endometrial, and colorectal cancers. There is some data to suggest a little to no increase in risk of breast and cervical cancer, however, the risk is generally associated with current use and diminishes once someone stops taking the pill.

You should speak with your provider about any medications or supplements you are currently taking before starting treatment with drospirenone ethinyl estradiol. Drospirenone ethinyl estradiol can interact with other forms of medication and substances, causing potentially serious side effects.

In addition, you should let your doctor know if you are pregnant or plan on becoming pregnant before starting treatment with this medication. Even though it’s rare, it is still possible to become pregnant while using drospirenone ethinyl estradiol.

Oral contraceptives typically are prescribed in packets of 21, 28, or 91 tablets and are usually taken once per day at the same time of day.

Do not discontinue or increase your dosage of drospirenone ethinyl estradiol without consulting with your provider first. If you begin to experience adverse side effects while taking this medication, like those listed above, inform your provider right away.
