Yasmin also known as Drospirenone/Ethinylestradiol is a medicine which is used in contraception.
Yasmin contains two hormones that are similar to the hormonesoestrogen and progesterone that are produced by the body. Drospirenone/Ethinylestradiol is used to prevent women from becoming pregnant. It works by preventing the release of eggs from the ovary and also changes the lining of the uterus which makes it difficult for an egg to develop.
Yasmin is a contraceptive pill and is used to prevent pregnancy.
Each light yellow tablet contains a small amount of two different female hormones, namely drospirenone and ethinylestradiol. Contraceptive pills that contain two hormones are called “combination” pills
