Drug Uses

Mircette Tablets are indicated for the prevention of pregnancy if you elect to use this product as a method of contraception.

How Taken

Oral contraceptives must be used consistently to prevent pregnancy. Take this medication with food or immediately after a meal to avoid stomach upset. Try to take this medication at the same time each day. This may help you to remember to take it regularly. Oral contraceptives come in packets of 21 or 28 tablets. If you have a 21-tablet packet, take one tablet daily for 21 days and then wait 7 days (no tablets) before starting a new packet. If you have a 28-tablet packet, take one tablet daily for 28 days in the order specified in your packet. The last seven tablets in a 28-tablet packet are a different color. These tablets do not contain ethinyl estradiol and desogestrel; they contain iron (ferrous fumarate) or an inactive ingredient and are used to permit continuous daily dosing during the entire 28-day cycle. This eliminates the need to count the number of days between cycles. A new 28-tablet packet should be started the day after taking your 28th tablet. When first starting on this medication, use an additional method of birth control until you have correctly taken at least 7 days' worth of tablets. Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully concerning when to take your first tablet (on the first or fifth day of your menstrual period, or on the first Sunday on or after bleeding begins). Take oral contraceptives exactly as directed by your doctor. Do not take more or less of this medication unless your doctor has advised you to do so. Do not stop taking this medication without talking to your doctor.

Warnings/Precautions

Before taking this medication, tell your doctor if you have high blood pressure, angina, or heart disease; had a stroke; a bleeding or blood-clotting disorder; breast, uterine, or another hormone-related cancer; liver disease or a history of jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes) caused by use of birth control in the past; undiagnosed, abnormal vaginal bleeding; migraines; asthma; or seizures or epilepsy. You may not be able to take birth control pills, or you may require special monitoring during treatment if you have any of the conditions listed above.

Yasmin, the most recent low-dose birth control pill to enter the market, was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in May 2001 and is available in the United States. It is 99 percent effective in preventing pregnancy when used correctly, and works in the same way as other combination birth control pills. Each pill pack consists of 21 pills that contain the same amount of estrogen and progestin, to be taken one per day for three weeks, followed by seven placebo pills that are taken throughout the week, in order for a woman to get her period.
Yasmin is the only birth control pill to contain the synthetic progestin known as drospirenone — an alternative for women who experience adverse effects from other oral contraceptives. Drospirenone has antimineralocorticoid activity that influences the regulation of water retention and electrolyte balance in the body, as well as antiandrogenic (anti-male hormone) properties. It may even be effective in treating premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), a severe form of premenstrual syndrome (PMS).
As a result of this particular progestin, common benefits of Yasmin include:
* less water retention
* less premenstrual weight gain
* fewer PMS and menstrual symptoms
* prevention of acne
Similar to other birth control pills, possible side effects of Yasmin include:
* headaches
* menstrual changes
* breast tenderness
* abdominal cramps and bloating
* nausea
* vaginal discharge
Yasmin is not recommended for women who:
* have kidney, liver, or adrenal disease, since drospirenone may increase potassium levels in the bloodstream.
* take certain medications, especially those that increase potassium levels in the body.
* have a history of blood clots or stroke.
* have a history of blood clots in the legs, lungs, or eyes.
* experience chest pain.
* have a history of or suspected cancer of the breast, lining of the uterus, cervix, or vagina.
* have unexplained vaginal bleeding.
* have a history of jaundice.
* have a liver tumor.
In addition, women who smoke and/or have high blood pressure, diabetes, or high cholesterol need to take precautions if they take Yasmin.
