Slynd

Slynd (drospirenone) is a progestin-only oral contraceptive (also known as the mini-pill) that is used to prevent pregnancy. It is particularly beneficial for women who may not tolerate estrogen-containing contraceptives or for those who are breastfeeding. Slynd works by inhibiting ovulation, thickening cervical mucus to prevent sperm from reaching the egg, and thinning the uterine lining to reduce the likelihood of implantation.

Comprehensive Drug Guide

How Does Slynd Work?

Drospirenone, the active ingredient in Slynd, works primarily by mimicking the effects of natural progesterone in the body. It prevents ovulation, increases the viscosity of cervical mucus, and alters the endometrium, making it less suitable for implantation. This multifaceted approach effectively reduces the chance of pregnancy.



Common Dosages

  • Tablets: Each tablet contains 4 mg of drospirenone.

Typical Dosing

  • For contraception: The recommended dose is one tablet taken once daily at the same time each day. It is important to start taking Slynd at least 24 hours before engaging in unprotected sexual intercourse.


Typical Dosing

FDA Approved Indications

  • Prevention of pregnancy in women of reproductive age.


Who Shouldn't Take Slynd?

  • Known hypersensitivity to drospirenone or any components of the formulation.
  • History of blood clots, certain types of cancers (e.g., breast cancer), liver disease, or unexplained vaginal bleeding.


Advice From The Pharmacist

  • Take Slynd exactly as prescribed, and do not skip doses to maintain effective contraception.
  • If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it's close to the time of your next scheduled dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular schedule. If two or more doses are missed, consult your healthcare provider for guidance.
