Take a minute to learn about how YAZ goes beyond birth control with 3 indications.
YAZ, like other birth control pills, is a combination birth control pill, which is the kind healthcare providers prescribe most for women seeking contraception. Combination pills contain 2 types of synthetic hormones: an estrogen and a progestin. Most combination pills are low-dose, meaning they contain 0.035 milligrams (mg) or less of estrogen.
YAZ contains a hormone that for some may increase potassium too much, so don't take YAZ if you have kidney, liver, or adrenal disease as this could cause serious heart and health problems.
Low doses of estrogen have been proven to be as effective as high doses in preventing pregnancy. Since most low-dose combination pills have the same type of estrogen (ethinyl estradiol), other differences between brands are the progestin and the dosing schedule.
When taken as directed, like other birth control pills, YAZ is 99% effective at preventing pregnancy and can also give you shorter, lighter periods, regulate your cycle, and reduce cramps. But YAZ goes beyond birth control with 3 indications.
If you consider how YAZ goes beyond birth control with 3 indications, the combined features may make YAZ an appropriate birth control option for you because:
* In women choosing oral contraception, it's the ONLY birth control pill clinically proven to treat emotional and physical premenstrual symptoms that are severe enough to impact their lives, a condition called PMDD (premenstrual dysphoric disorder)
* One of the few choices clinically proven to help treat moderate acne in women who are able to and wish to use the Pill for birth control
* YAZ is 99% effective at preventing pregnancy when taken as directed
* It's a pill with a 24/4 day dosing schedule. You take active pills for 24 days, followed by 4 inactive pills. This schedule provides you with an additional 3 days of active pills
* Last, like most other birth control pills, YAZ can help give you shorter, lighter periods, a more regular cycle, and can even reduce cramps
However YAZ may not be appropriate for everyone. YAZ contains a hormone that for some may increase potassium too much, so don't take YAZ if you have kidney, liver, or adrenal disease as this could cause serious heart and health problems.
