What is the most important information I should know about Slynd (drospirenone)?

What is Slynd?

Slynd is a birth control pill (oral contraceptive) also called a POP (progestin only pill) that is used by women who can become pregnant to prevent pregnancy.

Do not take Slynd if you:

· have kidney disease or kidney failure
· have reduced adrenal gland function (adrenal insufficiency)
· have or have had cervical cancer or any cancer that is sensitive to female hormones
· have liver disease, including liver tumors
· have unexplained vaginal bleeding

If any of these conditions happen while you are taking Slynd, stop taking Slynd right away and talk to your healthcare provider. Use non-hormonal contraception when you stop taking Slynd.

Before you take Slynd, tell your healthcare provider about all your medical conditions, including if you:

· are pregnant or think you may be pregnant
· have ever had blood clots in your legs, lungs, a stroke, or a heart attack
· have high levels of potassium in your blood or take chronic medications that may increase blood potassium concentrations

Tell your doctor about all of the medicines you take, including prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins and herbal supplements, such as St. John’s Wort.
Slynd may affect the way other medicines work, and other medicines may affect how well Slynd works.
Consider using an alternative or back-up method of contraception when such medicines are used with Slynd.

What are the possible serious side effects of Slynd?
Slynd may cause serious side effects, including:

· High potassium levels in your blood- your healthcare provider may check your blood potassium levels before and during treatment with Slynd.
