Yasmin is a brand of oral contraceptive pill that contains a combination of two hormones: ethinyl estradiol and drospirenone. It is primarily used to prevent pregnancy, but it may also help regulate menstrual cycles and reduce symptoms of premenstrual syndrome (PMS). In addition to its contraceptive benefits, Yasmin is sometimes prescribed to treat acne in women. The medication works by inhibiting ovulation and altering the uterine lining, making it less suitable for implantation. As with any medication, it is important to consult a healthcare provider for personalized advice and to discuss potential side effects.
