Benefits
A Daily Birth Control Option Designed for Flexibility
Slynd is a prescription progestin-only birth control pill containing drospirenone. Unlike combination birth control pills, it does not contain estrogen. It may be an option for patients who prefer a daily pill or want to ask their provider about estrogen-free contraception.
Choosing birth control is personal. At Anchor Restorative Medicine, your provider considers your health history, current medications, preferences, routine, and future plans before determining whether Slynd may be appropriate.
Potential features of Slynd include:
An estrogen-free, progestin-only formulation
A once-daily oral contraceptive instead of an inserted device
A 24-day active-pill and four-day inactive-pill schedule
A longer missed-pill window than older progestin-only pills
The ability to review or change your birth control plan with your provider
Women’s health support connected with your broader primary care needs
Slynd should still be taken consistently. Your provider will explain the dosing schedule, missed-dose instructions, possible bleeding changes, potential side effects, and medication interactions.
Ideal Candidate
Who Should Consider Discussing Slynd?
Slynd may be worth discussing if you prefer a daily prescription pill and want personalized guidance about whether a progestin-only option fits your needs.
Consider scheduling a consultation if you:
Prefer a pill instead of an IUD or contraceptive implant
Want to ask about birth control without estrogen
Have had concerns or unwanted effects with another method
Want a method that can be reviewed and adjusted without a removal procedure
Need to discuss menstrual symptoms, PCOS, or other hormone-related concerns
Want birth control care connected with your physical and emotional health
Prefer an LGBTQIA+ friendly, nonjudgmental healthcare setting
Slynd is not appropriate for everyone. Certain kidney, liver, adrenal, cancer, bleeding, and medication-related considerations may affect whether it can be prescribed. Slynd also does not protect against HIV or other sexually transmitted infections. Your provider will review your individual risks and options.
Process Overview
What to Expect at Your Slynd Consultation
1. Health History and Goals
Your provider begins by discussing your health history, current medications, menstrual concerns, previous birth control experiences, preferences, and future plans.
2. Medication Safety Review
Your provider evaluates whether a progestin-only pill may be appropriate and reviews possible contraindications, medication interactions, and factors that could affect potassium levels.
3. Personalized Prescription Plan
If Slynd is considered appropriate, your provider explains how to begin taking it, how its 24-day active and four-day inactive schedule works, and how the prescription will be processed through your pharmacy.
4. Daily-Use Guidance
You will receive guidance about taking Slynd consistently, responding to late or missed active pills, possible bleeding changes, and when to contact your provider or pharmacist.
5. Follow-Up and Ongoing Support
Your provider can follow up on how the medication is working, address side effects or concerns, and discuss another method if your health needs or preferences change.
