Yasmin Tablets 21’s

Yasmin Tablets 21’s is a combined oral contraceptive pill (COC) used to prevent pregnancy and regulate menstrual cycles. Each tablet contains two active ingredients:

• Drospirenone 3mg – a synthetic progestin
• Ethinylestradiol 0.03mg – a synthetic estrogen

Together, they work by:

• Inhibiting ovulation (preventing the release of an egg)
• Thickening cervical mucus to block sperm entry
• Altering the uterine lining to prevent implantation

Yasmin is also prescribed to manage irregular periods, moderate acne, and premenstrual symptoms in women who desire hormonal contraception.
