What is Yasmin?

Yasmin is a combined contraceptive pill that contains two hormones: ethinyl estradiol (oestrogen) and drospirenone (progestin). It is used to prevent pregnancy and can also help to:

• Regulate menstrual cycles
• Reduce period pain and heavy bleeding
• Lower the risk of ovarian cysts

However, Yasmin does not protect against sexually transmitted infections (STIs) such as HIV, chlamydia, or gonorrhoea.

How Does Yasmin Work?

Yasmin prevents pregnancy in three ways:

1. Stops ovulation – it prevents the ovaries from releasing an egg.
2. Thickens cervical mucus – making it harder for sperm to reach an egg.
3. Alters the womb lining – making it difficult for a fertilised egg to attach and grow.

What Are the Benefits of Yasmin?

• Highly effective at preventing pregnancy when taken correctly.
• Helps regulate periods, making them lighter and less painful.
• Can improve acne and symptoms of hormonal imbalance.
• Reduces the risk of ovarian cysts.

Always consult your doctor before starting Yasmin to ensure it is suitable for you.

Yasmin Reviews

Read first hand what other UK Meds customers think about Yasmin and it's impact on patients lives on our customer reviews above.

For further context there are also a large selection of Yasmin reviews describing what people think about their experiences with the medication available at Drugs.com and Web MD.

It is important to note that people may have different experiences when they use Yasmin. If someone states that their medication did not work as they had hoped, it does not mean that it will not work for you. If you believe that it is the right medication for you then the best thing to do is to consult your doctor or healthcare professional, and judge the medication based on your own experiences if they recommend it as a treatment. Before starting a medication you should always consult with your healthcare provider first to ensure that it is safe and suitable for your individual needs.

How to Take Yasmin Pills

Before starting Yasmin, always read the patient information leaflet provided in the packaging. This will explain when to take your pills and what to do if you miss a dose. If you have any questions, speak to your doctor or family planning nurse.

When and How to Take Yasmin

• Take one pill every day at the same time (with or without food).
• It’s best to take it after dinner or before bed to reduce the chance of nausea or stomach upset.
• Follow the order on the pack—missing pills or taking them at different times can reduce effectiveness and increase the risk of pregnancy.

Yasmin Pill Schedule

• 21 active pills (one per day).
• 7-day break – do not take any pills during this time.
• Your period should start around day 3 of the break.
• After the 7-day break, start a new pack even if your period has not finished.

What If I Miss a Pill?

If you miss a pill, follow the instructions in the patient information leaflet or speak to your doctor to reduce the risk of pregnancy. If you miss multiple pills, you may need extra contraception (such as condoms) until you get back on track.

Always follow your doctor’s advice and take Yasmin consistently for the best protection.

What is the recommended dosage?

If this is the first time you are using this medication and you are not switching from another form of hormonal birth control, take the first tablet in the pack on the first Sunday following the beginning of your menstrual period or on the first day of your period. If your period begins on a Sunday, begin taking the pills on that day. For the first cycle only, use an additional form of non-hormonal birth control such as a condom for the first 7 days to prevent pregnancy until the medication has enough time to work. If you start taking the pills on the first day of your menstrual period, you do not need to use a backup birth control method the first week.

What side effects can it have?

Most women take Yasmin without experiencing side effects, but some may notice:

• Mood changes
• Headaches
• Breast tenderness
• Nausea (feeling sick)
• Irregular bleeding

In rare cases, Yasmin can increase the risk of blood clots, which is slightly higher compared to some other contraceptive pills. If you notice any unusual symptoms or have concerns, speak to your doctor immediately.
