Droslyn 4 is primarily used as a contraceptive to prevent unwanted pregnancy and is an essential component of family planning. In addition to contraception, it is also used to manage menstrual disturbances, treat acne, and maintain folate levels.
Drospirenone, is a progestin that mimics female hormones. It prevents pregnancy by inhibiting ovulation (release of an egg), altering the uterine lining, and thickening cervical mucus, making it harder for sperm to reach the egg. It also helps regulate menstrual cycles and provides other therapeutic benefits, such as improving skin conditions like acne.

Drospirenone
The clinically significant side effects include:
Other adverse reactions include:
These reactions are based on clinical trials and may not fully reflect real-world experiences.
Droslyn 4 mimics the action of progesterone suppresses ovulation and brings about other hormonal changes to prevent pregnancy.
Drospirenone should be used with caution and under the guidance of a healthcare provider. You should avoid taking drospirenone if you or your family have a history of the following conditions:
Additionally, avoid taking drospirenone if:
Other conditions where drospirenone use should be avoided:
Drospirenone is usually taken along with ethinyl estradiol starting between Days 2 and 5 of your menstrual cycle. Follow your doctor's instructions regarding dosage and timing, as correct use is essential for effectiveness.
Droslyn is a progestin indicated for use in females as an oral contraceptive.
Drospirenone is a progestin used to prevent pregnancy in females of reproductive age by suppressing ovulation. As a spironolactone analog, it also has anti-mineralocorticoid activity.
Absorption: Drospirenone is absorbed proportionally to the dose, with maximum plasma concentrations (Cmax) of around 27 ng/ml reached 2-6 hours after ingestion. Steady-state concentrations of about 41 ng/ml are achieved after 10 days of treatment. Food does not affect absorption.
Distribution: Drospirenone is 95-97% bound to serum albumin and does not bind to sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) or corticosteroid-binding globulin (CBG). Its apparent volume of distribution is around 4 L/kg.
Metabolism: Drospirenone is extensively metabolized, mainly due to its inactive metabolites—the acid form and 4,5-dihydro drospirenone-3-sulfate. Its oxidative metabolism is catalyzed by CYP3A4.
Excretion: The terminal half-life of Drospirenone is around 30 hours. Most of the excretion occurs via feces, with only trace amounts of unchanged drugs found in urine and feces.
Drospirenone tablets are taken once daily, with 28 consecutive tablets in each cycle (24 white active tablets followed by 4 light pink inert tablets). They should be taken at the same time each day to maintain a 24-hour interval between doses.
Starting Droslyn: For women not currently using hormonal contraception, take the first active white tablet on the first day of menstruation. Continue taking one white active tablet daily for 24 days, followed by one light pink inert tablet for 4 days. Each new pack should start on the same day of the week as the first pack.
Switching to Drospirenone:
Consult the Patient Information and Instructions for Use for further guidance on correct usage.
Substances Decreasing the Effectiveness of Hormonal Contraceptives (HCs): Certain drugs and herbal products, particularly those inducing the enzyme cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4), can reduce the effectiveness of hormonal contraceptives (HCs) by lowering their systemic concentrations. This may lead to breakthrough bleeding or unintended pregnancy. Examples of such substances include:
Substances Increasing the Systemic Concentrations of HCs: Co-administration of strong CYP3A4 inhibitors, such as ketoconazole, has been shown to moderately increase the systemic exposure of Drospirenone. However, interaction with drugs like omeprazole, simvastatin, and midazolam is unlikely to have significant effects on the metabolism of Drospirenone.
Potential for Increased Serum Potassium Concentration: Drospirenone has the potential to raise serum potassium levels, especially when used with other potassium-elevating drugs such as:
Overdosage of Drospirenone has not been linked to any serious adverse effects. Potential symptoms include nausea, vomiting, and vaginal bleeding. No specific antidote exists, and treatment should focus on symptomatic relief. As Drospirenone has anti-mineralocorticoid properties, serum potassium, and sodium levels should be monitored, along with signs of metabolic acidosis in cases of overdose.
