Drovelis is a new type of combined pill that contains a brand new type of oestrogen, called estetrol, which has not been used in contraception before. This hormone is combined with a newer type of progestogen, called drospirenone, which is in pills like Yasmin and Lucette. The oestrogen in Drovelis is 10 to 20 times less potent than the usual type of oestrogen used in combined pills, so researchers will monitor users closely over the next few years to see if this reduces the risk of side effects like blood clots. You can now buy Drovelis from The Lowdown!
