Description
Yasmin is a combination oral contraceptive pill that contains two active ingredients: ethinylestradiol (an estrogen) and drospirenone (a progestin). It is used to prevent pregnancy and is taken daily for 21 days, followed by a 7-day break. Yasmin works primarily by preventing ovulation (the release of an egg from the ovaries). It also thickens the cervical mucus, making it harder for sperm to reach the egg, and alters the lining of the uterus to prevent implantation.
Yasmin is indicated for contraception in adult women. While its main purpose is to prevent pregnancy, many people also experience additional benefits, such as more regular menstrual cycles, lighter periods, and less menstrual pain. Some also notice improvements in acne and oily skin due to the anti-androgenic effect of drospirenone.
In the body, the hormones in Yasmin mimic natural female sex hormones, helping to regulate the menstrual cycle and reduce hormonal fluctuations. Unlike some other progestins, drospirenone has anti-androgenic properties, which means it can counteract the effects of male hormones like testosterone. This may help reduce acne, fluid retention, and bloating. In trans men taking testosterone who still require contraception, this anti-androgenic effect could slightly reduce some masculinizing changes.
Yasmin is taken once daily, ideally at the same time each day. Its contraceptive effect is reliable when taken correctly and consistently. One of the benefits of Yasmin is that it combines high contraceptive efficacy with a favorable side effect profile in most users. It is also associated with a lower risk of water retention and weight gain compared to other pills.
General Information
Yasmin is a combination oral contraceptive pill that contains two hormones: ethinylestradiol (an estrogen) and drospirenone (a progestin).
It is primarily used to prevent pregnancy. It can also help regulate menstrual cycles and improve symptoms like acne and bloating.
Yasmin prevents ovulation, thickens cervical mucus to block sperm, and alters the uterine lining to prevent implantation. Drospirenone also reduces the effects of male hormones, helping with acne and fluid retention.
One tablet is taken daily for 21 days, followed by a 7-day break with no pills. A new pack is started after the break.
Contraceptive protection begins within 7 days if started on the first day of menstruation. Cycle regulation and acne improvement may take a few weeks.
If less than 12 hours have passed, take the missed tablet as soon as possible. If more than 12 hours have passed, follow the instructions depending on the week of your cycle and use additional contraception for 7 days if necessary.
