What is Yasmin and when can it be taken?

Yasmin is a brand of contraceptives owned by the German pharmaceutical company Bayer. The active agents of the medication are Drospirenone and Ethinylestradiol. The first one is synthetic progesterone and the second one is synthetic estrogen.
The effect is achieved through the inhibition of maturation of the follicle and attachment of a fertilized egg due of the slightly changed lining of uterus and thickening of uterus discharges which makes it hard for sperm even reach the egg.
Combined birth control are used all around the world not only for unwanted pregnancy prevention but also for the treatment of hormonal imbalance that makes menstrual cycle irregular, cause period cramps, acne, and so on.
If you wish to get the product cheaper when you plan to buy Yasmin, you can look for its generic version.
