Slynd (Drospirenone Tablets) from Canada

What is Slynd?

Slynd is a progestin-only oral contraceptive containing drospirenone, which is used to prevent pregnancy in adolescent and adult women. Unlike combined oral contraceptives, Slynd does not contain estrogen. It is often referred to as the "mini-pill."

How Does Slynd Work?

Slynd works primarily by suppressing ovulation, which means it prevents the release of an egg from the ovary. Additionally, it thickens the mucus in the cervix, making it harder for sperm to reach the egg, and thins the lining of the uterus, reducing the likelihood of implantation. Slynd is effective when taken as directed, with one tablet taken at the same time each day.

Dosage and How to Take Slynd

Slynd is available in a blister pack containing 28 tablets: 24 white active tablets (each containing 4 mg of drospirenone) and 4 green inert tablets (placebo). To take Slynd:

1. Start with the white active tablets on the first day of your menstrual period (Day 1 Start).
2. Take one white tablet daily for 24 days, followed by one green tablet daily for the next 4 days.
3. Start your next pack immediately after finishing the current one, regardless of whether your period has ended.
4. Take the tablets at the same time each day to maintain consistent hormone levels in your body.

If you miss a dose, refer to the patient information leaflet or consult your healthcare provider for instructions on what to do.
