Get Yasmin Online

Yasmin works through three complementary mechanisms: it suppresses ovulation so no egg is released, thickens cervical mucus to block sperm from reaching an egg, and thins the uterine lining to make implantation less likely. When taken correctly at the same time each day, it is more than 99% effective.

Drospirenone is a fourth-generation synthetic progestin derived from spironolactone. Unlike many other progestins, it has mild anti-androgenic activity, which can help with hormonal acne, and antimineralocorticoid activity, which may reduce bloating and water retention associated with estrogen. These properties distinguish it from older progestins used in other pills.

Yes. Because drospirenone has antimineralocorticoid effects similar to potassium-sparing diuretics, it can raise potassium levels. Women who take medications that also increase potassium, such as ACE inhibitors, angiotensin receptor blockers, potassium-sparing diuretics, or NSAIDs used daily, may need their potassium monitored during the first month of use.

If you miss one pill, take it as soon as you remember and take the next pill at your usual time, even if that means taking two pills in one day. If you miss two or more pills, follow the instructions in the package insert, use a backup contraceptive method such as condoms for the next seven days, and contact your provider if you have questions or think you may be pregnant.

Yes. Certain medications can reduce the effectiveness of combined oral contraceptives, including some antibiotics such as rifampin, anticonvulsants such as carbamazepine, phenytoin, and topiramate, and herbal supplements such as St. John's Wort. Always tell your prescribing physician about all medications and supplements you take.

Yasmin is not appropriate for everyone. It is generally contraindicated in people who smoke and are over 35, have a history of deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism, have migraines with aura, have uncontrolled high blood pressure, have liver disease or liver tumors, are pregnant, or have certain types of heart disease.
