Frequently asked questions

What is Inkodess used for?+
Inkodess is a prescription‑only combined oral contraceptive containing drospirenone and ethinylestradiol. It is indicated for preventing pregnancy and for regulating menstrual cycles in women of reproductive age, helping to achieve more predictable bleeding patterns.
How does drospirenone work in Inkodess?+
Drospirenone acts as a synthetic progestogen with anti‑androgenic and antimineralocorticoid properties. It blocks progesterone receptors, thickens cervical mucus, and contributes to the suppression of ovulation when combined with ethinylestradiol, thereby preventing fertilisation and implantation.
What is the usual dose of Inkodess?+
The dosing regimen for Inkodess is determined by the prescribing clinician. Typically, it is taken once daily at the same time for a 21‑day active tablet course followed by a hormone‑free interval, but the exact schedule should follow the prescriber’s instructions.
Is Inkodess safe to use during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Inkodess is contraindicated during pregnancy because it is designed to prevent conception. If pregnancy occurs, the product should be discontinued. Limited data are available for breastfeeding; clinicians usually advise using alternative contraception and discuss risks with the patient.
How do I order Inkodess from GNH USA?+

How does Inkodess compare with other combined oral contraceptives?+
Inkodess combines drospirenone, which has anti‑androgenic and antimineralocorticoid activity, with ethinylestradiol. Compared with older progestins, drospirenone may offer benefits such as reduced water retention and a lower risk of acne, but the overall efficacy and safety profile remain comparable to other combined oral contraceptives.
What are the storage requirements for Inkodess?+
Inkodess tablets should be stored at ambient temperature, preferably below 25 °C. Keep them in the original blister pack, protect from moisture and direct sunlight, and ensure they are out of reach of children.
How is Inkodess administered?+
Inkodess is taken orally as a tablet, usually once each day at the same time. Patients should follow the prescribed cycle—typically 21 active tablets followed by a hormone‑free interval—while adhering to any specific instructions from their healthcare provider.
What are the most serious risks associated with Inkodess?+
The most serious risks include venous thromboembolism, arterial thrombosis (such as stroke or myocardial infarction), severe hypertension, and liver disorders. Patients should be monitored for signs of these conditions and discontinue use if they occur.
Who should not use Inkodess?+
Inkodess is contraindicated in women with a history of thromboembolic disorders, uncontrolled hypertension, active liver disease, known or suspected breast cancer, or those who are pregnant or breastfeeding. It should also be avoided by smokers over 35 years of age.
