natural progestogen | currently the only progestogen with similar properties to natural progesterone, completely different from the structure of progesterone contained in traditional oral contraceptives, it is closer to the natural progesterone. Drospirenone in addition to anti-androgen effect, but also has anti-mineralocorticoid effect, can prevent sodium retention in the body. Not only has excellent contraceptive effect, but also has many positive effects on women's physical health. For example, reduce acne, make the skin more smooth, effective weight control, etc. |
side effects on human estrogen | drospirenone is a new synthetic progestogen designed to mimic the effects of progesterone, it is a progestogen with the pharmacological properties closest to natural progesterone, which has the unique advantages of anti-mineralocorticoid and anti-androgen activity. It appears as a form of a hormone that controls fertility. By Mimicking progesterone, it increases hormone levels and reduces the risk of pregnancy. Therefore, it is promoted as an effective contraceptive measure by the market. Unfortunately, since entering the market, Drospirenone has shown a negative effect on female estrogens. The combination of these two hormones can adversely affect the health of some people. when drospirenone reacts with estrogen, it can cause blood thickening in the body. It seems that this is a small problem, but blood clotting can lead to thrombosis. These blood clots form in blood vessels that block the flow of blood and even directly block the heart, brain, lungs and other vital organs. Blood clots interfere with the heart receiving blood and can cause a heart attack. If it affects blood flow to the brain, it causes a stroke. any woman who takes drospirenone will have the possibility of side effects, but people with obesity, diabetes, smoking, depression, hypertension who take drospirenone-containing contraceptives are more likely to cause thrombosis. |
biological activity | Drospirenone (ZK 3059) is a synthetic progestogen that is an analog of Spironolactone. |
