Vestura Information:

• What

What is Vestura?

Vestura is a hormonal contraceptive that contains drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol. The former is a form of progestin hormone and the latter is a form of estrogen. It works by stopping ovulation and thickening cervical mucus to make it harder for the sperm to fertilize an egg. It also changes the endometrium of the uterus to make implantation of a fertilized egg more difficult.

• How

How do I take Vestura?

Decide what time of day is best for you to take your birth control and take it at that same time every day. You should start taking Vestura on the first day of your period or on the first Sunday after your period begins. Follow your doctor’s instructions. Depending on any previous birth controls, you may have to use condoms or another form of backup birth control for seven days. Be sure to refill your prescription before you run out of pills each month.
