Yasmin Pill

What is Yasmin Pill used for?

Yasmin Pill is a combined oral contraceptive that prevents pregnancy by releasing hormones drospirenone and ethinylestradiol. These hormones stop ovulation, thicken cervical mucus to block sperm, and thin the uterine lining to prevent implantation. Yasmin is also used to regulate menstrual cycles and reduce heavy or painful periods. Additionally, it can help improve acne by balancing hormone levels. Taken daily, Yasmin is an effective and convenient birth control option for many women.

How and when to take Yasmin Pill?

Yasmin Pill should be taken once daily at the same time each day to maintain consistent hormone levels. You start by taking one pill from the pack every day for 21 consecutive days, followed by a 7-day pill-free break during which you’ll usually have your period. After the break, start a new pack regardless of whether your bleeding has stopped. It’s important to take the pill with water and try to take it at a convenient time to help remember daily use. If you miss a pill, follow the specific instructions provided with the medication to maintain its effectiveness.

How long does Yasmin Pill last?

Each Yasmin Pill protects for 24 hours, so it needs to be taken daily without missing a dose. When taken correctly every day, the pack of 21 pills covers three weeks of hormone intake, followed by a 7-day break during which withdrawal bleeding usually occurs. Continuous use of Yasmin maintains pregnancy prevention as long as you keep taking it as directed.
