Trusted Prescription Drug Information

• Yasmin does not offer protection from sexually transmitted diseases–including HIV or AIDS. Using a condom is the only way to obtain protection from these diseases.
• Take one pill every day, no more than 24 hours after the last dose. Try to take the pills at a time that you will remember every day–for example, just before bed, with a meal, or first thing in the morning.
• Avoid smoking cigarettes while taking yasmin. Smoking greatly increases the risk of heart attack, stroke, and blood clot.
• Some other medicines may decrease the effectiveness of drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol, which may result in unintended pregnancy. Talk to your doctor before taking any other medicines while taking yasmin to determine if an additional form of birth control may be needed temporarily.
