Efficacy/Effectiveness

Contraception, dysmenorrhea, PMS (menorrhea syndrome), menopause, endometriosis, intractable acne

Yaz is a low-dose pill containing Tinylestradiol ( follicle hormone) and Drospirerenone (luteal hormone) as active ingredients.

Supplementing a small amount of female hormones into the body to suppress the pituitary gland considering it pregnant, to suppress the proliferation of endometrium (preparation of fertilized eggs), to prevent sperm invasion by changing the viscosity of cervical mucus, it exerts a high contraceptive effect.

It can also relax the ovaries and uterus and stabilize hormone balance to suppress ovulation. It lightens up your period to suppress the proliferation of the endometrium and improves your dysmenorrhea (heavy menstrual pain, headache, nausea, and inflammation). It is approved in Japan as a treatment for Yazu dysmenorrhea.

In addition, it is also effective for treating menstrual irregularities, endometriosis, menopausal disorders, intractable acne (adult acne), etc.

Yaz is the latest generation of low-dose pills. It was a painful side effect of conventional low-dose contraception. Yaz is known to be difficult due to the relatively high side effects of weight gain, swelling, and dermatitis.

Yaz combines oral contraceptives to prevent pregnancy and is also used to treat moderate acne and menstrual discomfort disorder (PMDD). Each of the 24 tablets contains two different female hormones: drospyrenone (3 mg) and entinylestradiol (0.020 mg), while the other four tablets are inactive tablets called placebo.

How to take it

Yaz consists of a total of 28 bright red (24 tablets) and white tablets (4 tablets).

Take one tablet once a day in order (starting with a bright red lock) for 28 days at a fixed time every day.

These 28 days are the first cycle of your menstrual cycle.

The white pill is a placebo.

It is to drink the habit of "taking it every day" and prevent memory, and the 4th day (25th-28th) of taking the white pill is actually a period of suspension.

Bleeding occurs during this period. (In some cases, there is no bleeding.)

And regardless of the presence or absence of bleeding, starting on the 29th day, taking the new sheet in the next cycle, and then repeating it in the same way.

In principle, you start taking it on the first day of your period.
