Patient's question:
Tomorrow my husband is going back to work. I bought a box of drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol tablets, which are short-acting birth control pills. How do I take drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol tablets?Doctor's answer:
The combined oral contraceptive pill containing drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol requires starting on the first day of the menstrual cycle, taking it continuously for 21 days, then stopping for 7 days. This constitutes a 28-day cycle. During this period, sexual intercourse will never lead to pregnancy, so you can rest assured. It is recommended to take the medication at the same time each day. Long-term use of drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol tablets helps stabilize hormone levels in the body, adjusts the menstrual cycle, and alleviates menstrual pain.
