Drospirenone Ethinylestradiol Tablets 3mg / 0.03mg

Resumo rápido

Tipo de medicamento

Combined hormonal contraceptive (CHC) containing an oestrogen (ethinylestradiol) and a progestogen (levonorgestrel).

Obras de

By preventing ovulation, thickening cervical mucus, and altering the lining of the uterus, Levonorgestrel / Ethinylestradiol works on multiple levels to prevent pregnancy. These hormonal actions mimic the body’s natural processes to maintain a stable hormonal balance and prevent the release of an egg. This multi-target approach provides reliable and well-tolerated contraceptive protection when used regularly and according to instructions.

Princípio ativo

Drospirenone/Ethinylestradiol

Eficaz a partir de

When started on the first day of your period, this medication is effective immediately. If the first tablet is taken on another day of the cycle, an additional contraceptive method (such as condoms) should be used for the first 7 days to ensure full protection.

Genérico?

Yes

Efeitos secundários

Common side effects include nausea, breast tenderness, and mild headaches. Because of the ingredient Drospirenone, users typically experience less bloating compared to older pills. Important: Pills containing Drospirenone carry a slightly higher risk of blood clots (venous thromboembolism) compared to older pills (like those containing Levonorgestrel), though the absolute risk remains low. If you notice swelling in a leg, chest pain, or difficulty breathing, seek medical attention immediately.

Detalhes do medicamento

Descrição

Drospirenona/Etinilestradiol é o equivalente genérico da popular pílula contraceptiva Yasmin. Contém os mesmos ingredientes ativos nas mesmas dosagens e oferece mais de 99% de eficácia contra a gravidez quando tomada corretamente.

Esta pílula é formulada com Drospirenona, um progestogénio de quarta geração que imita de perto os hormônios naturais do corpo. Tal como a versão de marca, este genérico é apreciado pelos seus benefícios cosméticos: ajuda a regular a produção de óleo para limpar a acne e atua como um diurético suave para reduzir a retenção de água e o inchaço, tornando-se uma excelente escolha para mulheres sensíveis às flutuações hormonais de peso.

Ingredientes

Drospirenone (3 mg) and Ethinylestradiol (0.03 mg). Excipients: May vary slightly by manufacturer but typically include lactose monohydrate, maize starch, magnesium stearate, and hypromellose.

Efeitos secundários

Nausea, headaches, breast tenderness, mood changes, or light breakthrough bleeding between periods may occur.
Less commonly: weight gain, reduced libido, irritability, or digestive disturbances.

Serious but rare side effects include deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience leg pain, sudden shortness of breath, or chest pain.

Avisos

Levonorgestrel / Ethinylestradiol carries certain risks that users should be aware of. The use of combined hormonal contraceptives may increase the risk of blood clots, particularly in smokers or women with a family history of clotting disorders. Users who experience chest pain, sudden shortness of breath, or unusual headaches should seek medical advice immediately.

This medicine may also affect blood pressure and should be used with caution in women with a history of cardiovascular disease. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should not use this pill. Always consult a healthcare professional before starting or restarting treatment.

Perguntas Frequentes

When should I start taking the pill?

For immediate protection, start taking the pill on the first day of your natural period. You are then protected straight away. If you start on any other day, you must use extra protection (like condoms) for the first 7 days.

Can I skip or delay my period with this pill?

Yes. You can delay your period by starting the next strip of pills immediately after finishing the current one, skipping the usual 7-day break. You will remain protected against pregnancy. You may experience some spotting or breakthrough bleeding during this second strip, but this is normal.

Does this pill protect against sexually transmitted infections (STIs)?

No. This medication only prevents pregnancy. It does not offer protection against HIV or other sexually transmitted infections. You should use condoms to protect against STIs.

Which medications can reduce the effectiveness of this pill?

Some medications can make this pill less effective, including medicines for epilepsy (e.g., primidone, phenytoin, carbamazepine), tuberculosis (e.g., rifampicin), HIV infections, and herbal remedies containing St. John’s Wort. Always disclose your full medication history.

Can I take this pill while breastfeeding?

No. This pill is generally not recommended during breastfeeding as the oestrogen may reduce the amount of milk produced. Consult a doctor for non-hormonal alternatives or progesterone-only pills.
