Yasmin 21 Tablets

Yasmin 21 Tablets

Description:

Yasmin 21 Tablets is a prescription combined oral contraceptive medicine containing ethinyl estradiol and drospirenone. It is used primarily for reliable birth control in women of reproductive age. By preventing ovulation and inducing changes in the cervical mucus and endometrial lining, Yasmin helps effectively prevent pregnancy when taken correctly and consistently. This pack contains 21 active tablets to be taken once daily according to the prescribed contraceptive regimen.

Indications:

• Hormonal contraception for the prevention of pregnancy in women of reproductive age.
• Helps regulate menstrual cycles in women using combined oral contraceptives.
• May reduce menstrual pain (dysmenorrhea) and menstrual flow in some users.
• May improve acne in some women who choose combined oral contraceptives for contraception (only under medical supervision and where appropriate).

Active Ingredients / Key Components:

• Drospirenone – 3 mg per tablet.
• Ethinyl estradiol – 0.03 mg per tablet.
• Excipients: Other inactive ingredients (tablet core and coating) are present but not specified in the available information (For full ingredient information, please check the product leaflet or the manufacturer’s official website.).

Dosage & Administration / How to Use:

• Standard dose: Take 1 tablet by mouth once daily, preferably at the same time each day, for 21 consecutive days.
• After finishing the 21 tablets, take a 7-day tablet-free interval during which withdrawal bleeding usually occurs.
• Start of first pack (no previous hormonal contraception in the last month): Take the first tablet on day 1 of the menstrual cycle (first day of bleeding). Your doctor may advise alternative start options; follow medical advice.
• Swallow the tablet whole with water; can be taken with or without food.
• Missed dose: If you are less than 12 hours late, take the missed tablet as soon as you remember and continue the next tablet at the usual time. If more than 12 hours late, follow the instructions in the package leaflet and use additional non-hormonal contraception (such as condoms) as recommended by your doctor.
• Postpartum or after abortion: Start only as directed by your healthcare provider, based on timing and individual risk factors.
• Do not exceed the prescribed daily dose. Use continuously as directed for ongoing contraceptive protection.

Clinical Benefits:

• Provides highly effective hormonal contraception when taken correctly and consistently.
• Prevents ovulation and thickens cervical mucus, making it more difficult for sperm to reach the egg.
• Alters the uterine lining, reducing the likelihood of implantation if fertilization occurs.
• Helps regulate menstrual cycles and may lead to lighter and more predictable periods.
• May reduce menstrual cramps and menstrual-related discomfort in many users.
• May improve acne and oily skin in some women using it for contraception (under medical supervision).

Warnings & Contraindications:

• Prescription medicine: Use only under the supervision of a qualified healthcare professional.

• Smoking, especially in women over 35 years, significantly increases the risk of serious cardiovascular side effects; smoking is strongly discouraged while using combined oral contraceptives.

• Certain medicines (e.g., some antiepileptics, rifampicin, some HIV or hepatitis C medicines, herbal products like St. John’s wort) may reduce contraceptive effectiveness; always inform your doctor about all medicines and supplements you are taking.
