SLYND is a birth control pill (oral contraceptive) that is used to prevent pregnancy. The progestin drospirenone may increase potassium levels in your blood. You should not take SLYND if you have kidney, liver or adrenal disease. Please discuss any changes in health including any of the above conditions or new medications and supplements you are taking with your healthcare provider. Your healthcare provider can suggest a different method of birth control if SLYND is not a good fit for you.

Slynd® may cause side effects, the most common is irregular bleeding. Other less common side effects may include acne, headache, breast pain and tenderness, weight gain, menstrual cramps, nausea, severe vaginal bleeding, and/or less sexual desire. If you would like to learn more about Slynd®, please see the full prescription information, here.

If you are scheduled for any lab tests, tell your healthcare provider you are taking SLYND®. Certain blood tests may be affected by SLYND®. These are not all the possible side effects and risks of SLYND®. Please click here to read full Prescribing Information before starting SLYND®.

Nurx offers free shipping for contraceptives, delivered by USPS via 1-3 day priority shipping or first class mail for some refill orders. No signature is required for delivery of birth control. The packaging is generally discreet, and there is no mention of Nurx or a pharmacy on the outside of the envelope.

We are proud to offer more than 100 types of birth control, including name brand and generic pills plus the patch and vaginal ring. We are happy to try to order specific brands if you request them as well.

A Nurx medical provider licensed in your home state will partner with you to find the best care for your symptoms and medical concerns. As medically appropriate, a Nurx provider may prescribe birth control to help manage symptoms associated with PMS (Premenstrual syndrome) and/or PMDD (Premenstrual dysphoric disorder), or to help with cycle control (delayed period). In some cases, birth control may also be used to help manage symptoms of endometriosis and/or PCOS (Polycystic ovary syndrome), to assist with improving acne, or for menstrual migraine. While the use of birth control is considered “off-label” for these listed purposes, a licensed Nurx clinician may prescribe birth control if they deem doing so medically appropriate.
