Yasmin tablets are used to establish a reliable contraception provided that they are taken in accordance with the strict daily regimen. The mode of action is based on the impact of ethinyl estradiol and drospirenone – synthetic compounds substituting naturally produced hormones. Similarly to other hormonal contraceptives, Yasmin should be taken with great care: patients with hyperkalemia or with the history of breast cancer must avoid using the pills. Any side effects potentially indicating hormonal changes because of endocrine modulation should be instantly reported. However, the frequency of adverse reactions associating with the pills does not exceed the low-end threshold.
