How To Use
- Take Yasmin 28 by mouth once daily, or as directed by your doctor.
- The manufacturer recommends that you take this product after your evening meal or at bedtime to help you remember to take it and to minimize any stomach upset or nausea you may have.
- You may, however, choose to take Yasmin 28 at another time of the day instead.
- No matter what dosing schedule you use, it is important to take Yasmin 28 at the same time each day.

- If it is not possible to start this treatment at the start of your period, consult the product information and/or your doctor or pharmacist for proper instructions.
- It is recommended that you use an alternative method of birth control during the first week of taking Yasmin 28 until the full benefit of Yasmin 28 takes effect.
Side Effects
