Patient's question:
What are the effects of drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol tablets besides breastfeeding? Can they be taken long-term? If you want to get pregnant later, how long should you stop taking the medication?Doctor's answer:
The drospirenone ethinyl estradiol tablets can also regulate the menstrual cycle besides breastfeeding. Taking drospirenone ethinyl estradiol tablets orally produces fewer side effects on the body. Long-term oral administration can alleviate women's menstrual cramps, relieve breast tenderness, prevent weight gain, stabilize skin and hair issues, and more. Drospirenone ethinyl estradiol tablets are a type of short-acting contraceptive that can be taken long-term. If pregnancy is desired later, it is necessary to wait 1-3 months after stopping the medication before trying to conceive.
