How Droscon works
Droscon is a combined oral contraceptive pill. It works by preventing the release of egg (ovulation) and affecting sperm movement in the womb to prevent its union with the egg. It also changes the lining of the womb and renders it unsuitable for pregnancy.

Diabetes with vascular involvement; headache with focal neurological symptoms. Known or suspected breast carcinoma, endometrial cancer, oestrogen-dependent neoplasms.
Mode of Action
Ethinylestradiol is a synthetic oestrogen while drospirenone is a progestogen with antimineralocorticoid and antiandrogenic activity. Combined oral contraceptives act by suppressing the gonadotropins. Oral contraceptives also produce changes in the cervical mucus, making it less favorable for sperm penetration even if ovulation occurs.
Precaution
May increase risk of breast cancer, thromboembolism and glucose intolerance. May lead to hyperkalaemia in patients with adrenal insufficiency. May affect serum triglycerides and lipoprotein levels. May cause retinal vascular thrombosis; discontinue treatment if papilloedema or retinal vascular lesions occur. Caution when used in patients with depression, history of migraines or risk factors for coronary arterial diseases. Patients with diseases which may be worsened by fluid retention. May have dose-related risk of gall bladder disease. Increased risk of CV side effects when used in smokers, especially if they are >35 yr of age. Recommended to stop treatment 4 wk before...

Interaction
Increased risk of hyperkalaemia when used with ACE inhibitors, angiotensin II receptor antagonists, aldosterone antagonists, potassium salts or NSAIDs. Aminoglutethimide may increase hepatic metabolism of progestins. Increased risk of systemic acidosis when used with ammonium chloride.

Efficacy may be reduced by concurrent use of acitretin, carbamazepine, felbamate, oxcarbazepine, phenobarbital, phenytoin, topiramate, barbiturates, griseofulvin, modafinil. Oestrogens may decrease the clearance of benzodiazepines that undergo oxidative metabolism.
