The shape is a standard model drawn from the two times above, not a measurement. How fast a medicine acts and wears off also depends on the dose, the form and the person.
How the body breaks it down

The apparent volume of distribution of drospirenone is approximately 4 L/kg Elimination Metabolism Drospirenone is extensively metabolized after oral administration.

How it leaves the body

Excretion of DRSP was nearly complete after ten days and amounts excreted were slightly higher in feces compared to urine.
