Yasmin has a diuretic effect which means it can make you pee. If you have: chronic kidney disease, liver disease, or Addison’s disease, you should not use Yasmin or its generic equivalents.
Try to drink 8 glasses of water a day. Otherwise, you could get slightly dehydrated and have more frequent headaches.
Also, if you go on a long plane ride 5+ hrs, then take an aspirin or ibuprofen 30 minutes before the flight, drink water on the flight, and walk around. This will prevent blood clots.
Pretty much every medication comes with a tiny risk of allergies, including Yasmin. The symptoms are usually mild and include rashes, itching, dizziness. If you experience trouble breathing or swollen lips, throat, or tongue, call 911.
Depending on your medical history, hormone-based birth control may not be for you. It’s important to discuss your medical history with your physician or one of our helpful Pandia Health Patient Care Advisors before you get started on Yasmin, especially if you’ve had health problems such as cancer, heart disease, blood clots, uncontrolled diabetes, or high blood pressure.
