    I love Slynd. I have been on it for years and have no issues. I take it to skip my period and it’s wonderful.

    Isnt't Desogestrel used in the US/Canada? I think it is/has been the "standard" mini-pill in Europe at least before Slinda/Slynd and it has e.g. much longer missed pill window than 3 hours.

      Please do your hormonal test before you take any birth control. I took for year aviane without knowing my estrogens were high and I didn’t need a regular birth control . So this cause uterine thickness and posible hyperplasia and. Ow going for biopsy 😢

    I started taking Slynd a little under 2 months now and have experienced extreme weight gain recently (10lbs in a week). I haven’t done anything to change my diet or exercise and other than the gain I feel fine. Does this pill have a high risk of weight gain?

    • @cyliefields1620
      @cyliefields1620 2 месяца назад +1

      10lbs in a week makes it just water weight you have gained since it's impossible to gain that much fat in that time frame. You should probably speak with your doctor about this though since that much water weight in one week seems unusual.

    I just started slynd in about 2 months ago, switching from an estrogen pill. I haven’t had a period but I am spotting and cramping some days, is this normal to not have a set period schedule?

  • @kenziryan1872

      Doctor just prescinde this for my missing periods . 43 and periods stop due to high estrogen so she have me this pill which only contains progesterone. I too much estrogen thick my uterine wall and can cause cancer so please get a hormonal test before any birth control

    Wow I just learned about this new birth control! Now there is Slynd, is there even a place in therapy for movisse/jencycla??? Should I just start switching all my mini-pill patients to Slynd?

      The flexibility piece can definitely be beneficial for those who forget to take their pill the same time each day!

    Do you think slynd could help with my acne? I’m going to start it soon but I’m fearful that it might worsen my acne instead of helping it.

    • @heypharmacist
      @heypharmacist  7 месяцев назад

      Slynd has anti androgenic properties which technically should make it more favourable for those with acne.

      SLYND is contraindicated in females with conditions that predispose to hyperkalemia (e.g. renal impairment, hepatic impairment, and adrenal insufficiency).
