I have PCOS, and my gynaecologist suggested Dronis 20. Is it effective, and what are its side effects?
Dronis 20 is a combined oral contraceptive pill containing drospirenone and ethinylestradiol. It is often prescribed in women with PCOS to help regulate menstrual cycles, reduce androgen‑related symptoms such as acne and excess hair growth, and provide contraception. It can be effective in managing hormonal imbalance and improving cycle regularity. Still, like all pills, it may cause side effects, including nausea, headache, breast tenderness, mood changes, weight fluctuations, and in some cases spotting or changes in bleeding patterns; rare but serious risks include blood clots, especially in women with certain health conditions or risk factors. Since suitability depends on your medical history and risk profile, it is essential to follow your gynaecologist's advice and report any unusual or severe symptoms promptly.
