Drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol prevent ovulation (the release of an egg from an ovary) and also cause changes in your cervical mucus and uterine lining, making it harder for sperm to reach the uterus and harder for a fertilized egg to attach to the uterus. Levomefolate is a type of B vitamin that helps prevent a rare birth defect that could occur in a baby if pregnancy occurs while taking birth control pills or shortly after stopping them.

Drospirenone, ethinyl estradiol, and levomefolate is a combination medicine used as contraception to prevent pregnancy. The Beyaz brand of drospirenone, ethinyl estradiol, and levomefolate is also used to treat moderate acne in women who are at least 14 years old and have started having menstrual periods, and who wish to use birth control pills.

Beyaz is also used to treat the symptoms of premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), such as anxiety, depression, irritability, trouble concentrating, lack of energy, sleep or appetite changes, breast tenderness, joint or muscle pain, headache, and weight gain.

Targiniq ER contains a combination of naloxone and oxycodone. Naloxone blocks certain effects of opioid medication, including feelings of well-being that can lead to opioid abuse. Oxycodone is an opioid pain medication. An opioid is sometimes called a narcotic.

Targiniq ER is used for around-the-clock treatment of severe pain, that is not controlled by other medicines. Naloxone is included in this medicine to prevent the misuse of the narcotic ingredient.

Targiniq ER is not for use on an as-needed basis for pain that is not around-the-clock.
