Yasmin® Birth Control: Get Yasmin or Generic Yasmin Online

Most people take Yasmin without serious problems. Common side effects include nausea, headache, breast tenderness and spotting between periods, and they often settle in the first few months.

Serious side effects are rare but real – blood clots are the one clinicians watch most closely, which is why we ask about your history and your blood pressure. If something doesn't feel right after you start, message our medical team.

Yasmin isn't safe for everyone – dont take Yasmin if:

• You have high blood pressure
• smoke and are over 35
• or have ever had a blood clot, stroke or heart attack
• You get migraines with aura
• You have had breast cancer or liver disease
• You have kidney or adrenal problems or take medicines that raise potassium
• You are pregnant

That isn't the whole list. Our health questions go through your history properly, and a U.S. licensed clinician decides whether Yasmin is safe for you.

Get medical help right away if you notice…

• Sudden chest pain or trouble breathing.
• Severe pain or swelling in one leg.
• A sudden severe headache, or changes to your vision or speech.

If you think you're having a medical emergency, call 911 or go to your nearest emergency room.

Some people notice a little bloating or fluid change in the first few months, and it often settles. Research reviews of combination pills haven't shown that they cause weight gain, but everyone's body is different, so we won't promise you a number. If weight is your main worry about switching, say so in your health questions – our medical team can talk it through or suggest a different pill.

Yes, in the ways that matter. The FDA has approved generic equivalents to Yasmin, and a generic must contain the same active ingredients at the same strength – here, drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol. Different manufacturers give their version a different name, which is why you'll see Zarah, Ocella and Syeda when you search. The generic is usually more affordable if you pay out of pocket. Tell us at your visit which you'd rather have.

Lemonaid's online visit for Yasmin costs $25. That fee covers the review by our medical team. You pay for the medication separately, and the generic is usually the more affordable choice.

Yes. Combination pills like Yasmin aren't safe if you have high blood pressure, so Lemonaid asks for a recent reading in the health questions. If you don't have a cuff at home, many pharmacies and clinics can take a reading for you.

When you request Yasmin through Lemonaid, some states require a short video visit with a member of our medical team straight after the health questions. If yours does, we'll let you know. Otherwise, our medical team reviews your answers online and messages you if they need anything else.

Yes. If Lemonaid's medical team prescribes Yasmin, your prescription can be sent to a pharmacy near you so you can pick it up there, or your medication can be delivered to your door.
