What is Yasmin?

Yasmin (drospirenone/ethinylestradiol) is a combination birth control pill used to prevent pregnancy. Yasmin contains female hormones which prevents ovulation and causes changes to your cervical mucus and uterine lining which makes it harder for sperm to reach the uterus and harder for the fertilized egg to attach to the uterus. In addition to preventing pregnancy, Yasmin may be used to make your periods more regular, decrease blood loss and painful periods and decrease your risk of ovarian cysts.

Always read the patient information and instructions carefully before using this medication. Follow your doctor’s directions.

• Yasmin should be taken orally with or without food and is typically taken once daily. Take Yasmin at the same time each day, 24 hours apart. Taking Yasmin after your evening meal or at bedtime can help decrease stomach upset and nausea.
