DRONIS 20MCG is a combination of Drospirenone and Ethinyl Estradiol which belongs to the group of medicines called Hormonal Contraceptive Agents. It is used as a contraceptive to prevent pregnancy. It can also be used to treat acne (in females aged above 14 years) or premenstrual dysphoric disorder (a severe form of premenstrual syndrome) in women who wish to take oral contraceptives to prevent pregnancy.
Both drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol are synthetic female sex hormones (estrogen and progesterone). They reduce the chances of pregnancy by suppressing ovulation (release of a mature egg from ovary) and by altering the uterine environment which makes it unfavourable for a fertilized egg to implant and grow. They also alter the thickness of cervical mucus which makes it difficult for the sperms to travel inside the uterus.
They can also reduce the symptoms of premenstrual dysphoric disorder by regulating the falling levels of sex hormones following ovulation or just before menstruation. Additionally, they can decrease the production of male sex hormones (testosterone) in the body. This helps in reducing hormonal acne by reducing excess oil secretion (sebum) in the skin.
Before taking DRONIS 20MCG inform your doctor if you have any family history of breast cancer or are suffering from depression. You must also inform your doctor if you have diabetes, high blood cholesterol or migraine headaches.

DRONIS 20MCG acts by suppressing the release of gonadotrophic hormones that are responsible for triggering ovulation (release of a mature egg from ovaries) and for a successful implantation of the fertilized egg. They also reduce the thickness of the inner lining of uterus which makes it not suitable for the foetus to implant and grow. Additionally, they can alter the thickness of the cervical mucus which makes it difficult for the sperm to enter the uterus and fertilize the egg. As a result, they create an unfavourable environment for a successful pregnancy.
DRONIS 20MCG can also reduce the symptoms of premenstrual dysphoric disorder by regulating the falling levels of sex hormones following ovulation or just before menstruation.
