Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to investigate whether bariatric surgery affects Drospirenone only pills absorption

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

After being informed about the study and potential risks, all participants giving written informed consent who meet the eligibility requirements will take Drospirenone-only pills (4 mg, once daily). Between the 21st and 28th day of Drospirenone taking, pharmacokinetics will be measured. Pre-bariatric surgery pharmacokinetics study will be compared with post-bariatric surgery pharmacokinetics study.
