Yasmin

What are the benefits of the pill?

The pill is one of the most widely used and effective ways to protect yourself against falling pregnant. Oral contraceptives such as Yasmin contain artificial progestogen as well as oestrogen and work in three different ways to provide you with almost complete protection.

Yasmin is unique because it can prevent the weight gain that many women experience when starting the pill. It can also improve the appearance of your skin, helping to prevent acne. Like other contraceptive pills, Yasmin can help to regulate your periods and reduce pain during menstruation.

Who can take Yasmin?

Yasmin pills can be used by most women for contraceptive purposes, however, there are certain medications and health conditions which may make you unsuitable to take it. Make sure that you answer all the questions in your consultation in as much detail as possible.

It may not be safe to use this contraceptive if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. It is also not advisable to take it if you have circulation problems; jaundice; have experienced abnormal vaginal or abdominal bleeding; have kidney, heart or liver disease; suffer from high blood pressure and if you are over 35 and a smoker.

How do you take Yasmin?

Yasmin pills should be taken on the first day of your period as it will provide you with immediate contraceptive protection. If you are unable to take it on the first day of bleeding you can take it up until the fifth day of your period, but this means Yasmin will take seven days to become effective.

Yasmin should only be taken for 21 days of your cycle, followed by a seven-day break, after which you should start a new packet. During the seven pill-free days you won’t have to use any additional contraceptive measures as you will be fully protected. You might find that you’ll experience some bleeding during these seven days. This is not your regular period, but your body removing the drospirenone and ethinylestradiol from your system naturally.

What are the side effects?

Yasmin pills are popular because the majority of women don't experience negative side effects, however, as with all oral contraceptives, there is a small risk. The most common side effects include abdominal pain, menstrual changes, headaches, breast tenderness and nausea. The milder side effects tend to go away after a couple of days once the body is used to the new influx of hormones.
