Description

Drospirenone and Ethinyl Estradiol(draw-SPEER-a-none and ETH-in-il es-tra-DYE-ole) This medicine is known also as the Pill, OCs, BCs, BC tablets, or birth control pills. This medicine usually contains two types of hormones, estrogens (ES-troh-jenz ) and progestins (proh-JES-tins) and, when taken properly, prevents pregnancy.
