Product Description

YAZ is a combined oral contraceptive, commonly known as a 'birth control pill' or 'the Pill'. Yaz is a combination of 2 hormones: an estrogen (ethiny estradiol) and a progestin (drospirenone). Yaz is used in the prevention of pregnancy. It primarily works by preventing ovulation during your menstrual cycle. It also thickens the vaginal fluid making it more difficult for sperm to reach and fertilize the egg. It also changes the lining of the uterus to prevent attachment of a fertilized egg.

Yaz is also used to treat the symptoms of premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD). Symptoms of this disorder include:

• irritability,
• breast tenderness,
• anxiety, depression
• weight gain,
• trouble concentrating,
• lack of energy,
• joint or muscle pain,
• sleep or appetite changes,
• and headaches.

It may also be used in the treatment of acne in women who are at least 14 years old.

There are additional benefits that you may experience on Yaz. As you may have more regular and lighter periods the result is a decrease in anaemia (iron deficiency). You may also experience a decrease in period pain. Some symptoms like weight gain due to fluid retention, swelling or bloating may improve when taking Yaz. Some of the following conditions may be less common in women who take the Pill:

• ovarian cysts,
• fibrocystic breast changes,
• pelvic inflammatory disease,
• ectopic pregnancy,
• cancer of the uterus and ovaries.

Drug Uses

Consult your doctor before taking Yaz and follow the instructions given to you.

Take one tablet daily at about the same time each day. You must take Yaz every day. Keep a gap of 24 hours between each dose. It is advisable to take pill every night after the meal as it reduces the side effects such as headache, nausea, and uneasiness feeling. Take your first tablet from the green area of the pack (the active pills) that corresponds to the day of the week you are on. Once you have finished the active pills begin taking the white inactive tablets. Your period should begin 2-3 days after taking the white tablets and may not finish before you start your next pack of Yaz. Always start a new pack on the same day of the week as your previous pack.

If you have not used a hormonal contraceptive in the past month and are starting Yaz after a natural cycle, start on the first day of your period. If you start on days 2-5 ensure that you use a barrier contraceptive as well (e.g. condom) for 7 days after you start taking the first tablet.

Speak to your doctor about how to start Yaz if you have had a baby, miscarriage or an abortion.

If you have been taking a combined oral contraceptive pill start taking Yaz on the day after taking the last active tablet in your previous pack. You may experience some bleeding while taking the first pack of Yaz. You can also switch to Yaz after taking one or more nactive tablets in your previous pill pack.

Please keep the Yaz oral contraceptive pills in dark at room temperature, avoid moisture and heat and away from the reach of children.

Yaz birth control pills must be taken regularly. If it is stopped, pregnancy may occur. Hence, please keep the Yaz birth control doses refilled in your stock.

Missed dose

It is very important that you must take Yaz oral contraceptive pills daily as prescribed by your doctor to remain protected from unplanned or unwanted pregnancy.

Contraception is maintained if you are late taking a tablet but still take it within 24 hours. A missed pill occurs when you are more than 24 hours late. For YAZ to be at the height of effectiveness, light pink active tablets need to be taken for 7 continuous days.

Should you miss to take the scheduled pills, please take necessary steps mentioned below:

• If you miss one active pill:

  If you have taken the light pink active tablets for 7 continuous days and miss a light pink active tablet, take the missed tablet as soon as you remember, then return to taking your medicine as usual. Do not worry if you need to take two tablets in one day – this is perfectly safe.

  If you have been taking the light pink active tablets for less than 7 days and miss a light pink active tablet you will need to take the missed tablet as soon as you remember, and then return to taking your medicine as usual. You will also need to use an additional barrier contraceptive for the next 7 days.

• If you miss two active pills in a row in week 1 or 2, take two pills per day for two consecutive days. Then take one pill per day until you finish the pack. You will also need to use an additional barrier contraceptive for the next 7 days.

  If you miss two active pills in a row in Week 3, dispose of the remainder of the pack and start a new pack the same day. If you always start your pills on Sunday , keep taking a pill every day until Sunday and then on Sunday dispose of the rest of the packet and start a new packet.

• If you miss three active pills in a row in Week 1, 2, or 3, dispose of the remainder of the pack and start a new pack the same day. If you always start your pills on Sunday, keep taking a pill every day until Sunday and then on Sunday dispose of the rest of the packet and start a new packet.

You may not have a period during the month if you miss two or more pills. Call your doctor if you miss a period for two months in a row, as you might be pregnant.
