This medication contains three active ingredients:

• Drospirenone: A steroid compound derived from the hormone progesterone, which is a female hormone.
• Ethinyl Estradiol: A synthetic form of the hormone estrogen, which is also a female hormone.
• Levomefolate Calcium: A form of Vitamin B.

How does this medication work?

• Contraception: Drospirenone and Ethinyl Estradiol prevent ovulation, which is the release of an egg from the ovary. They also alter the nature of cervical mucus and the uterine lining, making it harder for sperm to reach the uterus and fertilize the egg.
• Prevention of Birth Defects: Levomefolate calcium helps reduce the risk of birth defects in case pregnancy occurs while taking the medication or shortly after stopping its use.
