Indications:
Yasmin is indicated to prevent pregnancy in women. It contains female hormones that prevent ovulation and also causes changes in cervical mucus and uterine lining, to make it harder for sperm to reach the uterus and harder for a fertilized egg to attach to the uterus.
How to use:
Take exactly as prescribed by your doctor. The dosage of Yasmin is one tablet daily for 21 consecutive days per menstrual cycle. Then tablets are discontinued for 7 days. It is recommended to take this medicine at the same time each day.
The first pill must be taken on either the first Sunday after the onset of menstruation or on Day 1 of menstruation.
Precautions:
Use a nonhormonal back-up method of birth control until you have taken a tablet daily for 7 consecutive days.
