Get Yaz Online

Yaz is FDA-approved for three indications: preventing pregnancy, treating moderate acne vulgaris, and managing premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) in women who also want oral contraception. Your physician will confirm which indications apply to your situation.

Yaz works through three complementary mechanisms: it suppresses ovulation by inhibiting the LH and FSH surges needed for egg release, thickens cervical mucus to block sperm, and thins the uterine lining to reduce the chance of implantation. When taken correctly and consistently, it is more than 99% effective.

Drospirenone is a synthetic progestin derived from spironolactone. Unlike many other progestins, it has anti-mineralocorticoid properties, which means it can counteract estrogen-related water retention and bloating. It also has mild anti-androgenic activity, which contributes to its effectiveness against acne. Because it affects potassium balance, it requires a review of other medications and kidney function before prescribing.

Yaz is not appropriate for people with a history of deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism, certain heart conditions, uncontrolled high blood pressure, migraine with aura, liver disease, or certain inherited clotting disorders. Smokers aged 35 or older face a significantly elevated risk of serious cardiovascular events and should not use combined hormonal contraceptives. Your Doctronic physician will screen for all contraindications.

Common side effects include nausea, headache, breast tenderness, spotting or breakthrough bleeding (especially in the first one to three months), decreased libido, and mood changes. Because drospirenone can raise potassium levels, people taking certain medications such as ACE inhibitors, ARBs, potassium-sparing diuretics, or NSAIDs used daily should discuss this with their physician.

Yaz is approved to treat moderate acne and PMDD specifically in women who also choose to use it for contraception. It is not indicated solely for acne or PMDD in people who do not want its contraceptive effect. If you are not seeking birth control, your physician may discuss alternative treatments for acne or PMDD.
