Yasmin

You should take one Yasmin pill daily at the same time each day for 21 days, followed by a 7-day break without pills. Swallow the pill whole with water, with or without food. If you miss a pill, follow the instructions in the leaflet provided. The effects of Yasmin last for 24 hours, so it is crucial to take it consistently for optimal efficacy. If you experience severe abdominal pain or chest pain, seek medical help immediately.

Each Yasmin pill contains 3 mg of drospirenone and 0.03 mg of ethinylestradiol, along with lactose monohydrate, maize starch, povidone, magnesium stearate, talc, hypromellose, macrogol 6000, titanium dioxide (E171), and iron oxide yellow (E172).

Common side effects of Yasmin may include nausea, headache, breast tenderness, and mood changes. Serious side effects such as blood clots, heart attack, stroke, or severe allergic reactions are rare but require immediate medical attention.

Do not take Yasmin if you have a history of blood clots, certain types of cancer, liver disease, or uncontrolled high blood pressure. If you smoke, are over 35 years old, or have certain medical conditions, Yasmin may not be suitable for you. Consult your healthcare provider before starting Yasmin if you have a history of migraines, depression, or gallbladder issues. Remember to inform your doctor about any medications you are taking, especially antibiotics or St. John's Wort, as they may interact with Yasmin.
