What is this medication used for?

Yasmin® may be used for contraception, acne or other medical conditions as suggested by your doctor.

Dosage and how to use

Yasmin® is a product that contains 21 tablets. This means that you need to take one tablet every day for 21 days. This is followed by 7 days where you take no tablets.

Take your tablet at the same time every day.
Swallow each tablet whole with water. Do not chew the tablet.
The back of the tablet strip states the days of the week (Monday – Sunday). Start your course by taking a tablet marked with the correct day of the week. Follow the direction of the arrows on the strip and take one tablet every day until you have finished all 21 tablets.
After you have taken all 21 tablets in the strip, there will be 7 days where you take no tablets. This means that if you take the last tablet of one pack on a Friday, you will take the first tablet of your next pack on the Saturday of the following week.
A few days after taking the last tablet from the strip, you will experience a withdrawal bleed that is similar to having your period.
Start taking your next strip of Yasmin® after the 7 tablet-free days even if you are still having menstrual bleeding. Always start the new strip on time.
