Yasmin Dosage - Missed Dose Instructions

One pill missed
If you forget to take ONE pill, or start your new pack one day late, you should take the pill you missed as soon as possible, then continue taking the rest of the pack as normal. You will still be protected against pregnancy and you don't need to use extra contraception.
Two or more pills missed
If you forget to take TWO or more pills, or start your new pack two or more days late, you won't be protected against pregnancy. You should take the last pill you missed as soon as possible, forget the other missed ones and then continue to take your pills, one every day, as normal. You should either not have sex, or use an extra barrier method of contraception, eg condoms, for the next seven days.
If you had unprotected sex in the seven days before you missed pills, you may need emergency contraception (the morning after pill). Ask for medical advice.
If there are fewer than seven pills left in your pack after your last missed pill, you should finish the pack and then start a new pack straight away without a break. This means skipping your pill-free week.
If there are seven or more pills left in your pack after your last missed pill, you should finish the pack and have your seven day break as usual before starting the next pack.
If you are confused about any of this, you can get individual advice for your circumstances from your doctor or pharmacist.

Drug Class and Mechanism

Yasmin pills belongs to the class of oral contraceptives.
The daily dose of hormones taken in the pill work mainly by tricking your body into thinking that ovulation has already happened. This prevents an egg from ripening and being released from the ovaries each month.
The hormones also increase the thickness of the natural mucus at the neck of the womb, which makes it more difficult for sperm to cross from the vagina into the womb and reach an egg. They also change the quality of the womb lining (endometrium), making it less likely that a fertilised egg can implant there.

Storage

Store Yasmin pills at room temperature, away from heat, moisture, children and pets.

Warnings and Precautions when using Yasmin pills

Serious risks, which can be life threatening, include blood clots, stroke and heart attacks, and are increased if you smoke cigarettes. Cigarette smoking increases the risk of serious cardiovascular side effects from the use of oral contraceptive. This risk increases with age as well as with heavy smoking and is quite high especially if you’re 35 years and above. Women who use oral contraceptives should not smoke.
Some women should not use the Pill, including women who have or have had blood clots, certain cancers, a history of heart attack or stroke, as well as those who are or may be pregnant. Oral contraceptives do not protect against HIV infection (AIDS) and other sexually transmitted diseases.
Drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol is contraindicated in patients with hepatic dysfunction. The mean exposure to DRSP in women with moderate liver impairment is approximately three times the exposure in women with normal liver function. Yasmin pills should also not be taken by women with renal insufficiency.
