About Drosinex 0.03mg/3mg Capsule

DROSPIRENONE+ETHINYLESTRADIOL belongs to a group of hormonal contraceptives. It is used to prevent pregnancy, and to treat the premenstrual dysphoric disorder (a mood disorder related to the menstrual cycle). It is also used for the treatment of acne in women at least 14 years of age who have started having initial menstrual periods. Contraception wants to prevent pregnancy. A woman can get pregnant if a man's sperm reaches one of her ova (eggs). Contraception tries to stop this from happening by keeping the sperm and egg separately. Therefore, stopping the production of an egg. It also stops the combined form of sperm and egg (a fertilized form of an egg) from attaching to the lining of the uterus.

DROSPIRENONE+ETHINYLESTRADIOL is made up of two medicines: Drospirenone and Ethinylestradiol. Drospirenone is a progestin (female hormones). It works to prevent pregnancy by preventing the release of an egg from the ovary or preventing fertilization of the egg by sperm (male reproductive cells). Ethinyl Estradiol is a female hormone (synthetic estrogen). In women, it helps in maintaining a normal menstrual cycle (periods). In women undergoing menopause, it works by fulfilling the deficiency of estrogen hormone, thereby preventing symptoms like night sweats, hot flushes, and mood swings.
