Slinda is a newer progestogen-only pill containing drospirenone 4mg. It has a 24-hour missed pill window (vs 3 hours for older mini pills), making it more forgiving.
Slinda is a progestogen-only pill containing drospirenone 4mg — the first mini-pill in Australia to use drospirenone as its active ingredient. Drospirenone has anti-androgenic and anti-mineralocorticoid properties, meaning Slinda may also help with acne and fluid retention unlike traditional mini-pills.
Slinda is taken in a 24/4 regimen — 24 active pills followed by 4 hormone-free days — which differs from the continuous dosing of most other mini-pills. This schedule tends to produce more predictable bleeding patterns, including regular withdrawal bleeds.
As an oestrogen-free pill with a flexible schedule and added anti-androgenic benefits, Slinda represents a modern evolution in progestogen-only contraception. It is PBS-listed and suitable for women who cannot use oestrogen-containing pills but want the skin benefits associated with drospirenone.
