How It Works
Dropin Tablet contains two active ingredients: Drospirenone 3 mg and Ethinyl Estradiol 0.03 mg. Ethinyl Estradiol is a synthetic estrogen and Drospirenone is a progestin. They work by primarily inhibiting ovulation which means preventing the ovaries from releasing an egg. The medication also thickens cervical mucus which makes it more difficult for sperm to reach the egg, and alters the uterine lining to reduce the chances of implantation.
Additionally, these hormonal effects may help regulate menstrual cycles and reduce menstrual cramps and premenstrual symptoms.
