How it works
Each active tablet contains a small amount of two different female hormones. These are drospirenone (a progestogen) and ethinylestradiol (an oestrogen). Because of the small amounts of hormones, it is considered a lowdose oral contraceptive. As all active tablets in the pack combine the same hormones in the same dose, it is considered a monophasic combined oral contraceptive.

Yaz Tablets Warnings
Warning 1
A thrombosis sometimes occurs in the deep veins of the legs (deep venous thrombosis). If this blood clot breaks away from the veins where it is formed, it may reach and block the arteries of the lungs, causing a so-called “pulmonary embolism”. Deep venous thrombosis is a rare occurrence. The risk for venous thromboembolism is highest during the first year a woman ever uses the Pill.
Warning 2
If you develop high blood pressure while using this medicine, you may be told to stop using it.
Warning 3
Breast cancer has been diagnosed slightly more often in women who use the Pill than in women of the same age who do not use the Pill. This slight increase in the numbers of breast cancer diagnoses gradually disappears during the course of the 10 years after stopping use of the Pill.
