What is Drospirenone Ethinyl Estradiol Birth Control Pills (3mg/0.02mg)?

Drospirenone Ethinyl Estradiol (3 mg/0.02 mg) is a combination oral contraceptive pill (OCP, birth control medication, birth control pills). It prevents pregnancy by preventing the release of an egg (ovulation), and thickening the cervical mucus, blocking sperm from getting into the uterus and getting to the egg. Drospirenone Ethinyl Estradiol is also prescribed to: treat acne, reduce the risk of ovarian cysts (as in polycystic ovarian syndrome [PCOS]), treat painful or heavy periods, and more. Read More

How to Use Drospirenone Ethinyl Estradiol

It’s super easy to use! Simply take one pill every day, at the same time each day. Many women find that taking Drospirenone Ethinyl Estradiol before bedtime or with their largest meal of the day helps reduce nausea and other side effects.

After taking 21 days of active pills, you’ll switch to seven inactive pills. These are inactive pills with no hormones that are there to get you in the habit of taking your pill every day.

Drospirenone Ethinyl Estradiol Dosage

Drospirenone Ethinyl Estradiol uses a combination of two hormones progestin (Drospirenone 3 mg) and estrogen (Ethinyl Estradiol, 0.02 mg) to make your body think it’s pregnant so a real pregnancy won’t happen.

Benefits of Drospirenone Ethinyl Estradiol

Drospirenone Ethinyl Estradiol Side Effects

The risks are very low, but some women have experienced unwanted side effects when taking Drospirenone Ethinyl Estradiol.

Minor ones include breast tenderness, headaches, nausea, and slightly elevated blood pressure or blood sugar levels. Positive side effects are also a possibility, too — reduced acne, lighter bleeds, and fewer mood swings are fairly common.

The chances of serious side effects are extremely unlikely, but some cases have been documented, such as blood clots in the head (a severe new headache, causing double vision, or stroke), blood clots in the chest causing severe shortness of breath, blood clots in the abdomen (causing abdominal pain), blood clots in the leg causing leg swelling and pain.

These may sound scary, but remember — they’re very rare. The risk is about 3-6 women out of 10,000 per year using the medication might get a blood clot.
