New progestogen only pill released

Slynd, a new drospirenone progestogen only pill, has just been launched in the UK. This offers several advantages over traditional progestogen only pills, such as a wider missed pill window, potential benefits for individuals with mildly raised blood pressure, acne and Pre-Menstrual Syndrome (PMS), and a pack designed to improve bleeding profiles. Additionally, its suitability for all body types, migraine sufferers, use in breast feeding and for those needing oestrogen free options makes it a versatile choice for contraception. However, as with any medication, it’s important for individuals to consult with their healthcare provider to ensure Slynd is appropriate for their specific health and contraception needs and circumstances.

If you are interested in trying Slynd or considering switching from your current contraception method, please contact Choices for more information or to book an appointment to see if this is the right option for you.
