Description
Dronis 30 is an oral contraceptive pill for women containing two hormones: drospirenone and ethinylestradiol. It prevents pregnancy by preventing the release of eggs from the ovaries, thickening cervical mucus to make it difficult for sperm to reach the egg, and changing the lining of the uterus to make it unsuitable for a fertilized egg to implant. Dronis 30 does not protect against HIV infection (AIDS) or other sexually transmitted diseases. Take this medication exactly as prescribed by your doctor, ideally at the same time each day, with or without food.
Uses
- It is used to manage pregnancy in women
Works
DRONIS 30MCG TABLET 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.
