my doc changed my pill to yazmin.?

Question

i just wanted to find out if anyone has had any problems on yazmin at all? he did say that it was a lower dose pill then my previous one. do you get breakthrough bleeding?? often? and how many people have fallen pregnant on this pill?

Answer 1

I did use Yasmin for 6 months during 2006 and had a rough time with adjusting to it during the first week of use and then things settled down til the 6 month mark. I had a problem with breakthrough bleeding while on the medication but it had to do with the way I took it.

I've talked to others who have had very good results with the Yasmin including protecting against pregnancy.

Please be careful with eating a lot of foods that have potassium in it such as bananas for example because the Yasmin has another medication in it that can be affected if too much potassium is eaten. The other medication in this pill is called Aldactone (generic spironolactone).
