Patient's question:
A few days ago, I went to see a doctor, and the doctor prescribed me drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol tablets. Hello, what should I do if my menstrual flow is reduced after taking drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol tablets?Doctor's answer:
The ethinylestradiol/norethisterone tablet is a short-acting oral contraceptive, typically started on the first day of the menstrual cycle and taken continuously for 21 days, which can effectively prevent pregnancy. The ethinylestradiol/norethisterone tablet is a combined preparation of estrogen and progestogen. After oral administration, it can reduce menstrual flow, which is a normal drug reaction. This will return to normal after stopping the medication and does not require treatment. It is important to take the medication regularly.
