 What's different about it? Many women still suffer from mild side effects on the pill, perhaps more accurately described as 'discomforts'. One of these is water retention. Effects of water retention include
- weight gain
- feeling bloated
- tender breasts
Drospirenone counteracts the increase in water retention, resulting in a slight decrease in body weight.3 When Drospirenone is used as the progestogen in the combined pill, the body does not increase fluid retention. This means you're not carrying that extra weight around that can make you feel so uncomfortable in the second half of your cycle. |
