Drospirenone is a unique progestogen derived from 17α-spirolactone, with a pharmacologic profile very similar to that of endogenous progesterone. In contrast with other available progestins, drospirenone is a progestogen with aldosterone receptor antagonism (PARA) through its affinity for the mineralocorticoid receptor. It is thus able to act on the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system (RAAS), which prevents excessive sodium loss and regulates blood pressure. Estrogen acts on the RAAS to…

Phase III studies with E2/DRSP show that DRSP does not antagonize the well-documented reductions of blood pressure associated with E1; rather, small DRSP dose-related reductions in systolic and diastolic blood pressures were observed, which should be beneficial for recipients, especially those who are mildly hypertensive.
