Risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) for drospirenone-containing combined oral contraceptives (COCs), is higher than for levonorgestrel and those containing desogestrel or gestodene. The risk of VTE with drospirenone containing pills remains very small and, like other oral contraceptives, is less than that associated with pregnancy.
