What is drospirenone?

Drospirenone is a new synthetic hormone which is more like the progesterone your body creates naturally at certain times in the menstrual cycle.

It's an important breakthrough, because it's a new category of progestogen and the first to mirror natural progesterone in the way it eliminates water.

Women on the pill containing the new hormone, drospirenone, are less likely to put on weight related to fluid retention.
