Hello,
Thanks for posting your query. XXXXXXX contraceptive pill contains drosperinone and ethinyl estradiol. It can potentially prevent premenstrual weight gain. It may cause an increase or decrease in weight in some women but the effect can vary from person to person.
You can safely take XXXXXXX as advised to you by your gynaecologist without worrying about the weight gain.
Hope this answers your query. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Please accept my answer in case you do not have further queries.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Rakhi Tayal.
