Precautions
It is very important that your doctor check you at regular visits every 3 to 6 months to discuss whether you need to continue taking this medicine.
If you are going to have surgery or will be on bed rest, you need to inform your doctor. You may need to stop taking drospirenone/estradiol during this time.
Check with your doctor immediately if vaginal bleeding occurs.
It is important that you check your breasts by self-examination regularly and have clinical examinations and mammography as required by your doctor. Report unusual breast lumps or discharge right away.
If you are scheduled for any lab tests, tell your doctor or lab technician that you are taking this medicine. Certain blood tests are affected by estradiol.
Tell your doctor about any risk factors for heart disease that you may have, such as high blood pressure, diabetes, tobacco use, high cholesterol, and obesity. It is important that you work with your doctor to lower these risk factors.
