What is Yasmin?
Generic Name: drospirenone-ethinyl estradiol
Other Brand Names:
Yaz, drospirenone-ethinyl estradiol, ethinyl estradiol-drospirenone, Ocella
Drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol prevent ovulation (the release of an egg from an ovary) and
also cause changes in your cervical and uterine lining, making it harder for sperm to reach the uterus
and harder for a fertilized egg to attach to the uterus.
The combination of drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol is used as contraception to prevent
pregnancy. It is also used to treat moderate acne in women who are at least 14 years old and have
started having menstrual periods, and who wish to use birth control pills to prevent pregnancy.
This medication is also used to treat the symptoms of premenstrual dysphoric disorder
(PMDD), such as anxiety, depression, irritability, trouble concentrating, lack of energy, sleep or
appetite changes, breast tenderness, joint or muscle pain, headache, and weight gain.
Drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol may also be used for other purposes not listed in this
medication guide.
