Yasmin is an oral contraceptive pill used to prevent pregnancy. Yasmin contains two synthetic female hormones (drospirenone and ethinylestradiol) and is classed as a combined contraceptive pill.
Yasmin works by:
Taking Yasmin on the first day of your period: You are protected from pregnancy immediately.
Taking Yasmin on days 2 – 5 of your period: You will not have immediate protection and will need to use an extra form of contraception for the first 7 days.
When taken correctly, Yasmin can be over 99% effective in preventing pregnancy.
The effectiveness of Yasmin can be reduced if:
Active ingredient: Drospirenone 3 mg and Ethinylestradiol 0.03 mg
Inactive ingredients: lactose monohydrate, maize starch, pregelatinised maize starch, povidone K25, magnesium stearate (E470b), hypromellose (E464), macrogol 6000, talc (E553b), titanium dioxide (E171) and iron oxide yellow (E172).

Both pills are effective options for women who want to treat acne and take an oral contraceptive. The active ingredients are different, with Dianette containing higher levels of oestrogen. This increases the risk of blood clots and mood changes. Yasmin is more likely to help with heavy periods and PMS (Premenstrual symptoms) such as mood swings, tender breasts, fatigue, irritability, and low mood.
Both pills are effective options for women who want to take an oral contraceptive. The main difference between these Yasmin and Rigevidon is the progesterone hormone. Yasim contains Drospirenone and Rigevidon contains Levonorgestrel. Both pills contain the same oestrogen hormone, Ethinylestradiol 30mcg. They have a similar side effect profile, with both pills helping to reduce acne, heavy periods, PMS and PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) symptoms. Yasmin is more expensive than Rigevidon.
Yasmin comes in packs of 21 pills, each labelled with the day of the week to help you keep track.

Yasmin, like all medications, has several listed side effects. Not everyone experiences them, but here are some potential side effects you may experience:
Common: Affecting 1-10% of users
Uncommon: Affecting 0.1-1% of users
Rare: Affecting 0.01-0.1% of users
If you experience any of the following side effects, seek urgent medical attention. They can be signs of something serious:
You should read the patient information leaflet for a full list of side effects. Always report any side effects to your doctor or pharmacist.
Whilst taking Yasmin, there is an increased risk of blood clots, psychiatric disorders, and certain type of cancer. These risks are higher in certain women. Once you stop taking Yasmin, the risk of these side effects will be reduced. It is important to disclose your full medical history to your doctor or pharmacist, so that they can check the suitability of Yasmin.
Taking the contraceptive pill has no long-term impact on your fertility, so your fertility levels should return to normal shortly after stopping the pill. It is possible to get pregnant as soon as you stop taking the pill, though some women may find it takes a few months for their periods to return to normal.
Yasmin can interact with certain medication. This can alter the blood levels of Yasmin, reducing its effectiveness. It can also cause other side effects such as bleeding.
You should always let your doctor or pharmacist know if you are taking other medication.
Some medications that can interact with Yasmin include:

It is not recommended to use Yasmin while breastfeeding. If you wish to take the pill whilst breastfeeding, consult your doctor.
