Yasmin (Drospirenone/Ethinyl Estradiol) and/or alternatives

General Information On Yasmin

Yasmin is a birth control pill prescribed to prevent a pregnancy. Doctors generally prescribe these pills to women who prefer birth control pills over other contraceptive methods. The generic name of the drug is Drospirenone and Ethinyl Estradiol. It ‘misleads’ the body into thinking the ovulation cycle is completed, which prevents the reproductive system from releasing another egg. Yasmin prevents the womb lining from thickening, which further prevents the released egg from attaching itself to the womb lining. The drug also changes cervical fluid consistency, which blocks the entry of sperms into the womb. You may buy Yasmin and use it only after consulting your doctor.

Side Effects for Yasmin

Some women may experience mild to severe side effects after taking Yasmin. The mild side effects disappear as your body adjusts to the new hormone. Abdominal pain, headaches, nausea, breast tenderness, menstrual changes, darkening of facial skin, swelling of the feet and hands, and change in appetite/weight are some of the common side effects associated with Yasmin. Some women may also experience menstrual period changes, vaginal discharge or itching, problems with contact lenses, loss of hair, or increased hair growth.

The drug may also cause severe side effects in rare cases. You should immediately stop taking Yasmin and consult your doctor if you suffer from allergic reactions such as: stomach pain, sudden weakness/numbness, problems with speech, balance or vision, nausea, a general ill feeling, chest pain, yellowing of the eyes and skin, and breast lumps.
