A member asked:
Which birth control pill is safe for women with kidney disease?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably...: Probably not one containing drospirinone as it's progestin, as that one can have more potassium effects, and sometimes renal disease or the medications used in patients with kidney disease can affect one's potassium balance.
