- Yasmin It is typically taken once a day for 21 consecutive days, followed by a 7-day break during which no pills are taken. - This break allows for a withdrawal bleed, which is similar to a regular menstrual period. - After the 7-day break, a new pack of Yasmin is started. Active Ingredients: - Drospirenone (3 mg): - A synthetic progestin that helps prevent pregnancy by inhibiting ovulation (the release of an egg from the ovaries). - It also thickens cervical mucus, making it more difficult for sperm to enter the uterus. - Ethinylestradiol (0.03 mg): - A synthetic form of estrogen that regulates the menstrual cycle, stabilizes the endometrial lining, and works in conjunction with drospirenone to prevent ovulation. Uses: - Contraception: - Yasmin is primarily used to prevent pregnancy. When taken correctly, it is more than 99% effective in preventing pregnancy. - Regulation of Menstrual Cycle: Yasmin helps regulate menstrual cycles, making periods more predictable and typically lighter and less painful. - Treatment of Acne: Yasmin is sometimes prescribed to treat acne, particularly in women who also need birth control. The combination of drospirenone and ethinylestradiol can help reduce acne by decreasing the amount of sebum (skin oil) produced. - Management of Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS): - Yasmin can help alleviate symptoms of PMS, such as mood swings, bloating, and irritability, due to its hormonal balancing effects. - Reduction of Ovarian Cysts: Yasmin can reduce the risk of developing ovarian cysts by regulating hormone levels and preventing ovulation. - How to Take Yasmin: - Take one tablet per day at the same time each day, ideally with a small amount of water. - Start a new pack after finishing the 21 tablets from the previous pack. - 7-day break: After completing the 21 days of tablets, take a 7-day break. - During this break, a withdrawal bleed (similar to a period) usually occurs. Important Considerations: - Missed Dose: If you miss a tablet, refer to the product instructions on how to proceed. - Typically, if a tablet is missed, you should take it as soon as possible, but the instructions depend on when the pill is missed in your cycle.
