[|Human|] hi, i have been taking belara for a couple of months now but i moved to another country where they only have yasmine as contraceptive pills so i have no choice! i just got my period and i have to start taking the pill on the 5th day as normal. my question is if it is ok to switch from belara to yasmine and if it will have any side effect? and if it is not possible what is another sollution?
[|AI|]  Hayes, It is okay to switch from Bear to Yasmin. There is no problem or harm with shifting to Yasmin. Both are combined estrogen and progesterone containing contraceptive pills. Yasmin has similar side effects as Bear. Start taking the Yasmin pill from today itself for better protection. If it is more than seven days since you completed Bear use back up contraceptive method (like condoms) for one week. Your body may take some time to adjust to the medicines in the different brand. So don't be alarmed if you develop spotting in between. I hope I have answered to your satisfaction
