Abstract | This review focuses on the pharmacological and inhibition of the ovulation of progestin-only, estrogen-free contraceptive containing drospirenone in a dosage of 4 mg in a regimen 24/4. The USA and European regulatory authorities have approved it. The molecule has anti-gonadotropic, anti-mineralocorticoid, anti-estrogenic, and antiandrogenic properties. This regime improves the bleeding profile, maintains the plasma E2 levels comparable to the menstrual cycle's early follicular phase, avoids hypoestrogenism, and preserves efficacy despite forgetting the tablet intake as drospirenone has a half lifetime of 30-34 hours. Clinical studies have shown good efficacy, very low cardiovascular side effects, and high acceptability and maintenance of ovulation inhibition after scheduled 24-h delays in pill intake. The molecule is compared to other POP like levonorgestrel or desogestrel. |
