Not sure which Contraception treatment you need?
What is Yasmin?
Yasmin is one of the most popular contraceptive pills available in Europe, because it has the unique benefit of keeping weight gain to a minimum, as proved in clinical trials. Yasmin offers over 99% protection from pregnancy.
If you think the Yasmin pill could be the right contraceptive for you, you may be able to buy it online from HealthExpress.eu if you complete a consultation. Your consultation will be reviewed by one of our registered doctors who will check if it’s safe for you to use Yasmin.
What are the benefits of using Yasmin?
The biggest benefit of taking the Yasmin pill, and the benefit that makes it most unique, is that it keeps weight gain to a minimum. This is good news because many other oral contraceptives are known to cause weight gain. The type of progestogen in this pill has the same effect as diuretics, which means it reduces water retention too.
The Yasmin pill isn’t prescribed to treat acne, but it can improve the appearance of skin and hair.
How does it work?
Yasmin delivers a steady dose of a synthetic oestrogen called ethinylestradiol and a synthetic progestogen called drospirenone. The oestrogen stops the ovaries releasing an egg into the womb by tricking the body into thinking ovulation has already occurred. The progestogen prevents the womb lining from thickening and thickens the mucous in the cervix.
This makes it harder for sperm to pass through the thickened cervix mucous to reach the womb. Even if sperm could reach the womb, it’s almost impossible that there would be a mature egg waiting to be fertilised. In the extremely rare case that fertilisation does happen, it’s almost impossible for the egg to develop because it can’t plant itself in the womb lining to grow, which prevents conception because it’s starved of essential nutrients.
Who can take it?
Some health conditions could stop you from using Yasmin, including angina, heart valve disease, irregular heartbeat, high cholesterol levels and hypertension.
Using medications can stop you taking the Yasmin pill too. Certain medications like phenytoin, carbamazepine and aprepitant can stop Yasmin from working. This contraceptive can raise the blood levels of some medications, like tizanidine or selegiline, which will increase the chance of developing side effects.
How do you take Yasmin?
You will be advised to start using Yasmin on the first day of your period, because it will offer immediate protection against pregnancy. You can wait until the fifth day of your period to take your first Yasmin pill, but you’ll need to use a barrier contraceptive because it can take up to a week to begin working.
If you do forget to take a pill, you should take one as soon as you remember and continue with the pack as usual. Don’t panic: you’ll still be protected against pregnancy. If you miss three or more pills, you won’t be protected. In this instance you’ll need to use a barrier contraceptive for the next seven days, take the last pill you forgot and continue with the pack as usual. If you forget multiple pills during the third week of the pack you should throw the missed pills away, start a new pack and remember to use a condom.
How can I buy Yasmin online?
You can buy the Yasmin pill online if you complete a consultation. It’ll take just a few moments and you will usually be notified within an hour if the doctor will prescribe Yasmin for you. If they agree, your pack of Yasmin will be dispensed by our regulated pharmacy and sent to you via free next-day delivery.
We guarantee all medication we send patients is genuine, branded medication. This can be verified by looking for holograms or a pharmacy label on your Yasmin pill packet, or by checking the batch number with the manufacturer.
