Application

Drospirenone has been used as a progestogen agent in pond snail and fish.
Drospirenone was tested for genotoxicity in rat and human hepatocytes.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Drospirenone is a fourth-generation progestin that has antimineralocorticoid, and antiandrogenic activity in addition to potent progestogenic activity. In two recent studies drospirenone appeared to double the risk of venous thromboembolism compared to levonorgestrel, although other studies found little added risk.
