Yasmin

Yasmin Information

Brand name for drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol, Yasmin has already established itself as a very popular and trusted contraceptive. Basically Yasmin is a form of two very prominent female hormones called progesterone and estrogen, responsible for influencing conception. Yasmin works by restricting the release of eggs from ovary and thereby stopping ovulation. The beauty of Yasmin as a contraceptive lies more in the fact that it stops the growth and developmental process of woman's egg. The drug paralyzes the egg’s ability to take in sperm and fertilize. If taken regularly, Yasmin prevents unwanted pregnancy. However it should be borne in mind that intake of Yasmin may follow side effects of different degrees and may not be suitable for all health conditions.

Yasmin Overdose

So far no cases with harsh consequences of Yasmin overdose have been reported. However, prevention is always better than cure. Avoid taking double dose and rush to a doctor immediately after you realize that you have taken a double dose or experience normal overdose symptoms like vomiting and menstrual bleeding.

Missing a dose of Yasmin can be crucial and decisive as it increases the risks of becoming pregnant. Normally if you miss one yellow "active" pill, pop in as soon as you remember or take two doses at the time of your next regular dose. If you happen to miss two yellow "active" tablets in consecutively in week one or two, take two tablets instead of one for the coming scheduled doses. Also to be on the safer side use any other contraceptive for at least 7 days immediately from the day following the missed dose. Dispose off the old strip and start afresh if you miss out on two yellow "active" tablets in consecutively in week three, or if you miss three tablets serially during any of the first 3 weeks. Also you run the risk of conceiving if you take up sex within the first week of missing a dose. Your Specialist may guide you with further details.

Yasmin Usage Guidelines

Always rely on your doctor for the best usage guidelines. Normally the first pill in the Yasmin strip should be taken on the first day of your menstrual period or on the first Sunday after it has started. One pill everyday is standard. In order to avoid side effects like vomiting and nagging headache, it is better to take the drug during night. Don’t forget to go for diagnostic check up twice every year to ensure that that you don’t get breast lumps while taking Yasmin. Also don’t ignore checking potassium level in blood if as and when your doctor suggests. Avoid smoking during intake of Yasmin to reduce chances of side effects. Take Yasmin regularly on time for effective results. Also store Yasmin at room temperature away from heat and moisture for best results.
