Description

How Does Yasmin Work?

Pregnancy occurs when an egg discharged from the ovaries gets fertilised by sperm. The female sex hormones progesterone and oestrogen regulate ovulation.  Drospirenone and ethinylestradiol, two synthetic hormones that mimic these two natural hormones, are found in Yasmin. They prevent releasing of an egg, fertilisation and embryo implantation.
