How to use drospirenone/ ethinylestradiol:

  • Follow the direction of the arrows on the strip.
  • Take one pill each day, until you have finished all 21 pills.
  • Swallow each pill whole, with water if necessary.
  • Do not chew the pill.
  • Then have seven pill-free days.
  • After you have taken all 21 pills in the strip, you have seven days when you take no pills.
  • So, if you take the last pill of one pack on a Friday, you will take the first pill of your next pack on the Saturday of the following week.
  • Within a few days of taking the last pill from the strip, you should have a withdrawal bleed like a period.
  • This bleed may not have finished when it is time to start your next strip of pills.
  • You don’t need to use extra contraception during these seven pill-free days – as long as you have taken your pills correctly and start the next strip of pills on time.
  • Then start your next strip
  • Start taking your next strip of Yasmin after the seven pill-free days – even if you are still bleeding.
  • Always start the new strip on time.
