    Glossary Drospirenone

    synthetic hormone used in birth control and hormone therapy

    Drospirenone is a synthetic hormone used in some birth control pills and hormone replacement therapies. It mimics the effects of the natural hormone progesterone, helping to regulate menstrual cycles, reduce the risk of ovarian cysts, and manage symptoms of menopause. Additionally, it has anti-androgenic properties, which can be beneficial for conditions like acne and hirsutism (excessive hair growth).
