Yasmin - Overview

Yasmin is a medication used by women to help prevent pregnancy through orally administered hormones. Women who need a Yasmin pill prescription for birth control medication can use Push Health to connect with a medical provider who can prescribe Yasmin tablets when appropriate to do so.

What Is Yasmin?

Yasmin prescription medication, like Junel Fe, Lo Loestrin Fe, Ortho Tri-Cyclen, Sprintec and Taytulla, belongs to a class of medications known as combination oral contraceptive (COC) medications. Hormonally, Yasmin combines the drugs drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol into a single tablet which is taken daily for three weeks. Like similar medications, Yasmin is thought to work by suppressing ovulation and may also interfere with the processes of implantation and sperm penetration. After being taken orally, the active ingredients in Yasmin reach peak levels in a few hours in healthy women and the drug levels are related to the dose. Yasmin medication is different from the medication Yaz in the dosage of ethinyl estradiol and that Yasmin is not indicate for use in premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD).

Yasmin - Dosage and Cost

Yasmin prescription medication is generally packaged as 28 film-coated tablets - 21 of which contain hormones and 7 of which contain an inert compound. Yasmin tablets are typically prescribed to be taken in the order specified on the blister pack at the same time every day. The drugs that form Yasmin together have a half life that is approximately 30 hours or less in healthy women. Yasmin is excreted in the urine and the feces. While generic Yasmin versions are more affordable, branded Yasmin is not overly expensive itself. At many pharmacies in the United States, one can obtain one tablet package containing Yasmin 3 mg / 0.03 mg tablets (28) for under $50. In addition, some insurance plans will help pay for some or all of the costs associated with a Yasmin prescription and Yasmin coupons can sometimes be found online or through the manufacturer. Yasmin blister packs should typically be stored at 25° C but check the package insert for exact storage instructions.
