3. Thrombophlebitis, venous or arterial thromboembolic diseases (thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, stroke or myocardial infarction) or other conditions that increase susceptibility to thromboembolic diseases (e.g. prolonged immobilisation, disturbance of the coagulation system or thromboembolic diseases in a close relative at young age, certain heart diseases).
4. Any known severe neurological, gastrointestinal, hepatic or other disease that might interfere with the intake of IMP or any trial condition, (e.g. lactose intolerance).
5. Additional contraindications related to the antimineralocorticoid activity of drospirenone (conditions that predispose to hyperkalaemia): renal or adrenal insufficiency or hepatic dysfunction.
6. Anovulatory precycle or sonographical peculiarities concerning the ovarian status (e.g. ovarian cyst formation that has not disappeared during the precycle).
7. Alcohol, drug, or medicine abuse or suspicion thereof.
8. Participation in a further clinical trial at the same time or intake of an investigational medicinal product within 4 weeks prior to screening.
9. Subject is a dependent person, e.g. a relative, family member, or member of the investigator’s or sponsor’s staff.
10. Subject in custody or submitted to an institution due to a judicial order.
11. Donation of blood or plasmapheresis after signing the informed consent.
12. Known allergy to any ingredients of the IMP.
13. Intake of the following medication:

b. Especially any drugs known to induce liver enzymes (e.g. rifampicin, dexamethasone, barbiturates, anticonvulsants, St. John’s wort).
c. Any drugs known to inhibit CYP3A4 (e.g. ketoconazole, verapamil, cimetidine, macrolides).
d. Use of sex steroids during the cycle prior to the start of the precycle until after progesterone sampling in the follow-up phase (except for IMP in the treatment cycles).
e. Use of long-acting injectable or implant hormonal therapy within 6 months prior to the start of screening.
f. Use of hormonal or non-hormonal intra-uterine devices (IUDs) within 1 month prior to the start of screening.
g. Anti-retroviral therapy within 6 months before screening.
