What Is Yasmin?
Yasmin is a widely used and effective contraceptive pill. It contains two active ingredients that help prevent ovulation and make it more difficult for sperm to reach the uterus. These hormones are drospirenone and ethinylestradiol, which are synthetic forms of the female hormones progesterone and oestrogen.
This type of pill is known as a ‘combination pill’ or combined oral contraceptive (COC) pill.
As with all medications, there are potential risks. You should continue to have your regular check-ups with your GP each year to ensure it is safe for you to continue taking Yasmin.
How Does Yasmin Work?
Yasmin contains the two female hormones drospirenone and ethinylestradiol. This combination stops ovulation (the release of an egg) and thickens the cervical mucus, making it harder for sperm to reach the uterus. It also reduces the chance of a fertilised egg implanting in the womb lining. These effects make Yasmin an effective method of contraception.
How Effective Is Yasmin?
When taken correctly, Yasmin is more than 99% effective at preventing pregnancy. This means fewer than 1 in 100 women taking it correctly over a year will become pregnant.
To help you make an informed decision, you can read reviews from other UK patients who use Yasmin.
Does Yasmin Cause Weight Gain?
Some contraceptive pills may cause fluctuations in weight. Weight changes are considered an uncommon side effect of Yasmin. If you find weight gain difficult to manage, speak to your GP about whether a different contraceptive pill may be more suitable for you.
Can I Take Yasmin if I’m Breastfeeding?
Yasmin is generally not recommended while breastfeeding. If you are breastfeeding, consult your GP before taking any hormonal contraceptive.

General Information About Yasmin
What Type of Pill Is Yasmin?
Yasmin is a combined contraceptive pill containing two hormones, making it different from progestogen-only pills.
What Hormones Does Yasmin Contain?
Yasmin contains ethinylestradiol and drospirenone. These hormones work together to prevent ovulation, thicken cervical mucus, and alter the uterine lining.
How Does Yasmin Work?
As a combined contraceptive, Yasmin prevents pregnancy by:
- Inhibiting ovulation
- Thickening cervical mucus to block sperm
- Altering the lining of the uterus to prevent implantation
Usage & Dosage
When Do I Take Yasmin?
Take Yasmin at the same time every day—one pill daily for 21 days of your cycle, followed by a 7-day pill-free break.
Can I Delay My Period With Yasmin?
Yes, you can delay your period by skipping the 7-day pill-free break and taking two strips back-to-back.
How Long Does Yasmin Take to Work?
If you start Yasmin on the first day of your period (within 24 hours), you are immediately protected against pregnancy. If starting between day 2 and day 5, use extra protection for the first 7 days.
Can Smokers Take Yasmin?
Yasmin may be prescribed for smokers under 35 years old. Women over 35 who smoke are generally advised against taking combined pills due to increased risk of blood clots.
