What are the reviews for Slinda?

Slinda is a one-component hormonal preparation containing drospirenone. Slinda inhibits ovulation, causes changes in cervical mucus, and also affects the endometrium. During the use of the drug, irregular spotting and bleeding may occur. It may also happen that bleeding will not occur at all. Any medicine used can cause side effects. However, this does not mean that every patient will experience them. The most commonly reported side effects are, m.in, headache, abdominal pain, nausea, mood swings, acne, breast discomfort, weight gain: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/101505/slinda-tabletki-powlekane/ulotka If you see side effects of Slinda, I encourage you to report them. Reporting side effects allows you to increase control over medicines available on the market. We wrote about how and why to report side effects in the article: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/jak-i-dlaczego-zglaszac-dzialania-niepozadane I encourage you to read additional materials that may be useful: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/antykoncepcja-hormonalna https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/jak-prawidlowo-stosowac-antykoncepcje https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/jakie-leki-oslabiaja-skutecznosc-antykoncepcji

To @chiara:

Given that you have been taking the Slinda contraceptive pill regularly for a month and a half, the risk of pregnancy is very low, even if the condom has broken.
Birth control pills such as Slinda are highly effective when used consistently.

Hello everyone, I have been taking the Slinda pill for a month and a half now, a few days ago while I was having sex with my boyfriend the Durex condom accidentally got punctured, this I am continuing to take the pill regularly and throughout the treatment I have never missed one, is there a chance that I am pregnant?

Hello everyone, I tried slinda and I've been taking her for two years, immediately in the first months she gave me spotting during the month, then everything settled, in my case (the gynecologist had warned me) the period no longer comes. I am very well; Now I am considering the suspension as it is predisposed to small circulation problems, the angiologist advised me to stop it and switch to the progestogen IUD.

To @Nora:
I am afraid that this question should be addressed to a gynecologist. The specialist will decide whether a given therapy is safe in your case - if not, he will recommend another method of treatment.

Side effects observed should be reported to the doctor, who will decide on further treatment. We write about why adverse drug reactions should be reported here:

I have just started taking Slinda/Slynd,I have been on a combination pill for years, but I have got severe pigmentation on my face, severe PMS symptoms and lots of migraines. Since I have been taking it the pigment spots have faded and I have not had any negative symptoms and I am more energetic. Finally, I thought, this is for me.

It was the 3-4 green pills that gave me the problem. I was feeling pretty sick, I had headaches, horrible sweating and no period (common with this pill, I know.). I had to stay at home for a day because I couldn't go to work. I felt horrible.

I'm a bit scared.I can't take this every month. I know you have to wait the first three months out, but I have never had symptoms this bad. :(

My stomach hurts a bit at the moment. Now I am on the second-month pills, and I am feeling tightness in my breasts and I am scared of what will happen when I will take the placebo pills.

Should I be patient or should I throw away the pill? I am so sad. Help me, please!

I've been taking Slinda for about 6 months now... The first 2/3 months I had dark discharge continuously, but always without the slightest pain, then it disappeared out of nowhere.
Now I'm on my period and I'm in excruciating pain (even though I'm still taking the pill), is this normal?

Hello, I have been taking Slinda for almost a year and since I started taking it I have lost about 8-9 kg. Is it an effect due to the drug? If I were to stop taking it, would I regain all the pounds I lost? As for other side effects I had nothing, except the loss of libido for a short period of time (3-4 weeks) and then recovered it completely. Thank you

I have been taking Slinda for more than 6 months. I did not observe any side effects such as nausea, headaches, etc. In the first few months, menstruation went as usual, but without pain and not profuse. After the fourth pack, menstruation stopped going at all, to this day (for more than 60 days). Another huge minus is a large weight gain, despite the fact that I began to monitor my diet, I gained more than 5 kg.

To @Kinga:

I understand your situation and concerns about the possibility of an unplanned pregnancy. You took steps to prevent this by taking EllaOne after the incident with a broken condom. Your gynaecologist confirmed that you were not pregnant in February.

Changing birth control pills can affect the regularity of the menstrual cycle. Taking a new type of pill (Slinda) may have affected your cycle, which is normal. The body may need several months to adapt to the new preparation. If you still don't have a period 3 months after changing your pills, you may want to consider taking a pregnancy test for your own peace of mind. Please remember that previous negative tests are not always reliable.

I have a question. On February 14, I had sex and my fiancé's condom broke. I was then in the process of taking 7 tablets of Liberelle. I got scared and took an additional "morning after" pill EllaOne (after less than 24 hours). On February 29, I went to another gynaecologist and he said it was early, but the pregnancy was not and certainly would not be. I got my period scheduled from March 3 to 9. After my period, I was already at my gynaecologist, who changed my pills to Slinda. I was supposed to have my first day off from tablets and the gynaecologist told me to take a Slinda pill on the same day. I haven't had my period since. Can this be the case? Should I be stressed? The gynaecologist says that up to 3 months the period should appear, because the body must not get used to it. I'm very afraid of pregnancy. I don't want to do the test because I once did two tests that were negative and it turned out that I was pregnant (I had a miscarriage, 2022).

I took these pills for 3 months (because of pcos). The first month was perfect, nothing hurt me, I felt normal, but with the start of the 2nd month of taking the pills, I regularly had spotting and constant fatigue when I came home, my acne worsened and mood swings and impulsivity appeared (which before I was a calm and trouble-free person). After 3 months. The doctor changed my medication

I've been taking PilloPill Slinda for 1 month and I've felt great tiredness and recurring sleepiness: I spend my days sleeping. I would like to know if this is normal

To @Катя:

If you started taking birth control pills in the middle of your cycle and not from the first day of your period, it is best to continue taking the pills as directed by the manufacturer. You don't have to stop taking your pills or wait for your cycle to normalize.

If you continue to take the pills as prescribed, the contraceptive protection will take effect after about 7 days.

I started taking pills not from the first one for menstruation, as there was bloody discharge and I thought that it was the beginning of menstruation, but then after a couple of hours everything went away. What should I do? Should I continue to drink or should I quit and wait until my period is normal and start drinking again? And if you continue to drink, how long will it take for the pills to start working?

@Cline I literally had the same thing. Leg pains, chills, my legs seem to be boiling in my thighs - 3 years of going to doctors, Doppler, medications, everyone said that I was too young for it to be because of pills, depression, faster heartbeat, something approaching neurosis... I'm not mentioning that I've gained weight because it's the least important... I stopped having a panic attack and... started to be normal. His legs have healed, his depression has passed, his neurosis has gone away. It was only then that I saw what a bad mental state I was in. After discontinuation, my bowel problems started to fall out, but that's a piece of cake compared to what I've been through.

I started taking Slinda at the end of 2021. I started having abnormal movement attacks (right side) for two years. Two years of struggle, neurological examinations, hospitalization, appointments with psychologists and psychiatrists... without any diagnosis. I decided to stop taking Slinda to see if I was menopausal and since then my seizures have stopped. It's been a little over two months since I've been living again. I'm waiting another month to really declare it but I'm convinced that my seizures, similar to dyskinesia, were due to this pill.

I got a rash after slinda and had to stop using it.

I have been using slinda for several months because being a severe migraine sufferer, combination pills are forbidden to me. And other pills don't eliminate period bleeding that causes me terrible migraines. I put up with it well. I no longer have catamenial migraines, but it causes severe vaginal dryness and loss of libido. I'm a little swollen in my breasts too. These are symptoms that I have also had with other pills. Slinda is a 4th generation pill. In my opinion, this should be avoided if you don't have any particular problems with menstrual bleeding.

I've been taking Slinde for two years now. I had a problem with long periods and heavy bleeding. Menstruation is now missing. Nothing hurts and I feel alive. Libido has completely dropped. At the beginning, long spotting, pain in the breasts, lower abdomen and the worst depressive states for about the first months of taking. I gained 10 kg 😔

1st Slinda plate, nothing to report apart from some light bleeding. At the time of the placebo pills I had heavier bleeding. I started taking normal tablets (2nd pack) 15 days ago and since yesterday I have had my period...
Is this normal? I'm hesitant to stop it

I'm on my second pack of slinda. I had some spotting in the first month but it went away. I had my period and then started back on the white pills. Now half way through the second pack I'm bleeding again but more like a period, is this normal?

I'm on my second pack of Slinda, I'm 52 years old, but I've decided to stop: continuous nausea, intense abdominal pain, continuous spotting... A disaster just isn't for me

Good morning
Reading bad reviews, I decided to join the conversation. I had hormonal problems - too high testosterone and dhso4 - the doctor prescribed me slinde - I feel so much better, I lost weight, I don't have any more hair on my chin, I don't have bleeding in between or from withdrawal - live not die. If there is an indication for the use of this drug, I highly recommend it!

I took it for 3 months, Slinda began to have panic attacks, pain squeezing in the chest, gained 4 kg.
I stopped taking it, in less than a day the panic attacks and chest pain stopped. I found a taste for life again.

I've just started taking slinda, which is the 10th day and I still have my period, pain in the lower abdomen, I went from Qlairy in which I had spotting for half a year. This medication has to be taken at a fixed time and I do, but for me it's unacceptable. I'm already in my 40s and that's why the doctor prescribed me a single-ingredient drug, I'm going to choose until the end but I can't imagine walking around in a sanitary pad for a month. I don't know if this will go away or if I don't need to go back to estrogen.

To @olha:

The answer to this question can be found in the attached thread: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/opinie-i-pytania/98830/poniewaz-chcialabym-przestac-brac-antykoncepcje-hormonalna-prosze

tell me if it is possible to take Slinda pills and just stop one day, how will it affect my body or do I need to finish the first blister?

To @Anonin:

Irregular spotting and bleeding may occur throughout your treatment with Slinda, regardless of the tablet number you are taking.

If you started taking Slinda after you have finished taking placebo tablets, you should use an additional method of contraception, such as a condom, for the first 7 days.

We wrote about how to use contraception correctly in the article:

https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/jak-prawidlowo-stosowac-antykoncepcje

I used vibin for a long time and switched to slinde. Is it normal that after 6 days of using slindy I got slight menstrual cramps and menstruation? I'd like to add that I finished vibin by skipping the placebo pills and started using slinde right away.

Hello, I have been taking Slinda for 3 months now and this is a real ordeal I have pimples that appear not only on my upper back but also on my face, every morning new pimples appear, I think about stopping it completely while waiting for my next appointment with the gynaecologist

I've been taking Slinda for 5 months now and I'm living through my personal nightmare... Gained 8kg in a very short time, my skin is full of purulent pimples, I can no longer stand my own mood swings and depressive phases. My motivation and sexual desire have been completely lost, especially since I sometimes can't cope with the punctual intake and therefore trust the pill zero.

I've been taking it for almost five months now and frankly it's working very well. On the other hand, I gained a little weight and it was difficult to lose. I took it after the pregnancy to be able to breastfeed but my weight doesn't go down oas zt up a little I admit that I would like to take back my old one which is at the Dino gest

Hi, I have deep entromethiosis and one ovary has been removed already one year ago. I started Slinda at the end of December 2023. I still have pain in genitalia areas. Slinda also introduced a lot of constipation. If I keep on using Slinda, does the pain and constipation go away? How long does it take to see if it works or not? First periods with Slinda were completely pain-free. I don't take the placebo pills.

Good evening I just started the slinda pill because I've had two terrible months and I'm still not feeling well... abundant flow, tremors, bad muscles not to get up, chronic fatigue I got up only to eat and slept all day, tachyatdie and shortness of breath ... I'm on the second pill and I've had anxiety panic attacks and I still have a contracted belly, confused head sometimes spins... I wanted to know if all this will pass

I've been taking Slinde for a year now and I haven't noticed any side effects. I had spotting for the first three months irregularly, around the time I was taking the placebo pills, but until now (about 7 months) I didn't have any spotting or any period, so live not die 😅

And I have a question, is it possible to get pregnant while taking Slinda pills regularly?

Has anyone encountered this type of situation?

To @anonim:

You will find the answer in the thread: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/opinie-i-pytania/96364/o-ile-godzin-mozna-spoznic-sie-z-przyjeciem-tabletki-slinda

In most cases, on the leaflet of other tablets it is written that you can be late with taking the tablet up to e.g. 12 hours (not once), how is it in the case of these pills? Nothing is written on the packaging and I was an hour late in the last 4 days (I wanted to switch taking the pill to a later hour) am I still protected against pregnancy? I've been taking these pills for 3 months and want to find out.

I took Vibin for 10 years and everything was ok, but 4 months ago the doctor said that I need to change to a single-ingredient because there is a higher risk of thrombosis and I am over 40 and I can tell you that it is a nightmare. I've had spotting every day for 4 months and it's such that I have to wear bigger pads, some depressive states, malaise, constant lower abdominal pain, nightmare and I decided to stop taking these pills, maybe younger girls will react better to the pills, unfortunately they didn't work for me.

The doctor prescribed me these pills after giving birth, reading the reviews I was downright terrified but I am in the middle of the 3rd pack and I have no side effects, I have not gained any weight, the weight after pregnancy is falling normally, I have no skin problems, I also have no period or spotting, no mood swings etc. I am happy and pleasantly surprised

A lot of questions wouldn't arise here if the ladies read the whole leaflet. Because:
1) Slinda stops ovulation so you don't have a period between packs 2) If you don't ovulate, you don't have a period, you can only have withdrawal spotting 3) You may have spotting, but it doesn't have to be, and it's not a reason to be nervous and think that contraception has failed. I've been taking Slinda for 3 years now and I don't have any spotting at all, my complexion hasn't deteriorated or I haven't gained weight because I get fat from food, not pills, but I can't recommend Slinda because everyone has to have pills that match each other, so if you have any uncool effects of using them, you just have to change them. There are many different contraceptives available on the market and if one is harmful to you, you need to change it. In the same way, you can't write that you don't recommend slinda because it makes you fat - because this is an effect in one person, to whom these pills were not matched, in another it may be different.

To @Natalia
I recommend that you look for another doctor. This is not something you should live with. Find on the Internet a large list of gynecologists of Mrs. Aga S., there are recommended doctors who listen to the patient.

Hello, I've been taking Slinda pills for a month now and I'm still spotting a lot, I'm after 5cc and after laparotomy and I have a uterus stuck to my abdomen, no one wants to help me, no gynecologist, I feel terrible, my doctor, even though I reported nothing, he didn't tell me to take the pills, I still have no idea what to do next, I was always the same at the back of the gynecologists, no help

I took the pill on the first day of my period and I'm already taking it before 10 and I still have scanty bleeding, is this normal? Am I fully protected yet?

To @Karina:

Yes, it can be caused by discontinuation of Slinda pills and the associated hormonal changes. Withdrawal symptoms can persist for up to several weeks.

It's been 2 weeks since I quit drinking Slinda. After 2-3 days, my breasts (or rather nipples) immediately began to hurt, they are constantly swollen and crassy, very sensitive. After 13 days, abdominal pain appeared. I am more concerned about my breasts, because one touch and they hurt terribly. Is this a common effect after stopping Slinda?

To @Paulina:

What do you mean by constant menstrual cramps? If it is lower abdominal pain that occurs, for example, during bleeding, then there is no cause for concern. Chronic abdominal pain, on the other hand, should be consulted with a doctor.

Is it normal to have constant menstrual cramps? I take the 4th pack.
