Properties

Yasmin® is a low-dose monophasic oral combined estrogen-progestogen contraceptive drug.

The contraceptive effect of combined oral contraceptives (COCs) is based on the interaction of various factors, the most important of which are the suppression of ovulation, increased viscosity of the cervical secretion and changes in the endometrium.

With the correct use of the drug Yasmin®, the Pearl index (an indicator reflecting the number of pregnancies in 100 women using a contraceptive during the year) is less than 1. If you skip pills or misuse, the Pearl index may increase.

Indications

-contraception.

Dosage and administration

The Yasmin® calendar package contains 21 tablets. Each tablet in the package is marked with the day of the week on which it must be taken. Tablets should be taken orally every day for 21 days in the order indicated on the package, at about the same time, with a small amount of water. Taking the tablets from the next package begins after a 7-day break, during which menstrual-like bleeding usually develops («withdrawal» bleeding). As a rule, it begins 2-3 days after taking the last pill and may not end before taking the pills from a new package. After a 7-day break, it is necessary to start taking pills from a new package even if menstrual bleeding has not yet stopped. This means that you need to start taking the pills from a new pack on the same day of the week, and that every month the «withdrawal» bleeding will occur on about the same day of the week.
