Yasmin: birth control pill

Yasmin: birth control pill

The drug is composed of two female hormones: drospirenone (progestogen) and ethinyl estradiol (estrogen). The hormones contained in Yasmin prevent pregnancy because they prevent ovulation.

Indications

Yasmin is primarily used to prevent pregnancy. However, the drug may be used for:

Reducing swelling caused by fluid retention

  • Treating acne
  • Reducing oil on the skin and hair
  • In addition, use of Yasmin may also result in other benefits, such as ending menstrual cramps and / or reducing the intensity of bleeding during menstruation. Contraceptives such as Yasmin are also associated with a lower risk of ovarian cancer and endometrial cancer.

How to use

Yasmin tablets should be swallowed every day, at the same time or at the next hour, as directed by

If the package contains 21 tablets, it is necessary to take a break of 7 days to start the new carton. In this period, bleeding should occur (within 2 to 3 days after the last tablet is ingested) and it may not have finished until the start of the new carton.

For cartons of 28 tablets no break is required, and tablets are ingested daily without interruption. This type of package has 21 hormonal tablets (yellow) and 7 non-hormonal tablets (white). When used correctly, the Yasmin failure rate is approximately 1% per year (one gestation per 100 women per year of use). When used correctly, the bleeding should begin 2 to 3 days after the first white tablet is ingested. Failure rates may be increased when tablets are missed or when they are taken incorrectly, or in cases of vomiting within 3 to 4 hours after ingestion of a tablet or severe diarrhea, as well as drug interactions. Missed Pills

Yasmin can be ingested up to 12 hours after the usual time without compromising protection against pregnancy. The user should take the forgotten tablet immediately and continue with the rest of the pack at the usual time.

If more than 12 hours have elapsed from the usual time, pregnancy protection may be reduced. In these cases, the guidelines vary according to the week of the cycle:

1st week: take the forgotten pill immediately, even if it means swallowing two tablets at once. On the following days the user should continue the intake at the usual time

Week 2: take the forgotten pill immediately, even if it means taking two tablets at one time. On the following days the user should continue the intake at the usual time

3rd week: if the previous pills were taken correctly, ingest the pill immediately and follow the rest of the pack at regular time. If the previous pills have not been ingested correctly, discard this card and start a new one after 7 days from the last tablet.

  • In all cases it is recommended to use another contraceptive method (such as a condom) within 7 days If the forgotten tablet is inactive (white), it should be excluded from the pack and need not be swallowed.
