Drospirenone / ethinyl estradiol
"Concerns about a birth control drug called "Nikki" - the same exact thing as "Gianvi"? Doubt it: Took Gianvi for 4 years and gained 5 lbs. Then my provider switched me to "Nikki". In 3 months, I lost 15 pounds. Great, right? No, my backside and breasts went flat. I was alarmed, I looked like a boy, like I didn't have breasts at all. My OBGYN said it could not *possibly* be the drug and that I should go get a blood test and physical. Tests came back normal. Went off Nikki, gained 10 pounds. Gave Nikki another chance to see if it was a fluke. Quickly lost the 10 pounds I'd regained. I looked like I was dying. Went off Nikki again. Gained all 15 pounds of my weight back. Called my OBGYN again. She says it's a coincidence. I don't think so."
