YASMIN (Drospirnone)

Yasmin birth control pills are a combination of hormonal birth control pills used to prevent pregnancy. The active ingredients in Yasmin are drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol. Like other birth control pills, Yasmin works by preventing ovulation. If you start taking it later, use extra contraception for at least seven days until Yasmin starts to work. You should only take it after the first day of your period if you are sure you could not already be pregnant. Yasmin (ethinyl estradiol/drospirenone) is a combination of two female hormones prescribed as a 28-day oral contraceptive pill used to prevent pregnancy.
