Yasmin is a birth control pill taken orally for preventing pregnancy. Yasmin has two active ingredients i.e. ethinylestradiol and drospirenone (a progestin hormone). Yasmin tablets come in a packet of 28, of which the first 21 (active pills) contain the active ingredients while the last 7 (reminder pills) are differently colored and contain no hormone. Yasmin does not protect against HIV (AIDS) infection and other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). The first active Yasmin pill of the pack should to be taken during the first 24 hours of the user’s period. No back-up method of birth-control is needed. The user can also take the first active pill on the first Sunday after her period, in which case a back-up contraceptive method of birth-control is needed. The doctor’s instructions for use must be follwed. Women having history of any of these conditions should consult their doctor before taking Yasmin pills: stroke, blood pressure or hear disease, a bleeding or blood-clotting disorder, cancer, undiagnosed/abnormal vaginal bleeding. Same hold for pregnant and breastfeeding women and those with a history of diseases like diabetes, high cholesterol, gallbladder disease, migraines or other headaches, epilepsy etc. It is safe to ask the doctor about taking the pill. A missed dose can be compensated for by taking an extra pill the same day but it should be remembered that pregnancy may result in case of having sex during the 7 days after a missed dose so a back-up contraceptive method must be used. Possible Yasmin side effects include irregular vaginal bleeding, altered vision, fluid retention (swelling of fingers /ankles), malasma (spotty darkening of skin), and some other side effects. In case of any unusual effects, the user should immediately contact her physician. Yasmin pills should be stored at 15°-30°C (59°-86°F). Internet users can buy Yasmin online at e-drugstores.
