Drospirenone

Drospirenone 3 mg (+30 meg ethinyl estradiol) by mouth on days 1-21 of the menstrual cycle31 As noted with other OCs above drospirenone may contribute to hyperkalemia in patients with reduced renal function... [Pg.759]

A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial evaluating the use of a monophasic OC containing 30 meg ethinyl estradiol and 3 mg drospirenone, a progesterone with anti-androgenic effects, showed improvement in the treatment arm compared with placebo.31 In particular, appetite, food cravings, and acne improved. However, active treatment was not associated with a statistically significant improvement in the overall outcome measure, the Calendar of Premenstrual Experiences (COPE) scale, perhaps because of the small sample size (n = 82). [Pg.762]

Other oral (drospirenone and norgestimate) and transdermal (levonorgestrel) progestagens also are available in combination with an estrogen. [Pg.358]

Cilest contains ethinylestradiol and norgestimate whereas Yasmin contains ethinylestradiol in combination with drospirenone. Both are combined oral contraceptives available as tablets, which have to be taken once daily for 21 days. Both are contraindicated in patients with venous thromboembolic diseases. [Pg.31]

Preclinical studies have shown that drospirenone has no androgenic, estrogenic, glucocortico antiglucocorticoid, or antiandrogenic activity. [Pg.206]

Hyperkalemia Yasmin contains the progestin drospirenone that has antimineralocorticoid activity, including the potential for hyperkalemia in high-risk patients, comparable to a 25 mg dose of spironolactone. Yasmin should not be used in patients with conditions that predispose to hyperkalemia. Women receiving daily, long-term treatment for chronic conditions or diseases with medications that may increase serum potassium should have their serum potassium level checked during the first treatment cycle. [Pg.214]

Drospirenone/Ethinyl Estradiol (YAZ) Estradiol C5pionate Medrox5progestCTone Acetate (LuneUe)... [Pg.52]

Drospirenone, a progestin in an oral contraceptive, also antagonizes the effects of aldosterone. [Pg.890]
