Drug Function and Efficacy

It inhibits ovulation, changes cervical secretions, makes the menstrual cycle more regular, relieves dysmenorrhea, reduces bleeding, and reduces the occurrence of iron deficiency. When combined with drospirenone, it helps to increase the level of sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG), which is beneficial for binding with endogenous androgens and inactivating them. It may reduce the incidence of ovarian cysts, pelvic inflammatory disease, benign breast disease and ectopic pregnancy (further confirmation is needed).
