Bleeding or spotting may occur while you are taking Yаsmin. Do not stop taking Yаsmin if this occurs. If bleeding or spotting continues or is heavy, contact your doctor.
If your period does not occur when expected, or if you experience unusual breast tenderness or symptoms of morning sickness, call your doctor right away. These symptoms may indicate that you are pregnant.
The effectiveness of Yаsmin may be decreased by certain medicines (e.g., antibiotics, medicines for seizures, St. John's wort) or conditions (e.g., vomiting or diarrhea). This could cause breakthrough bleeding or increase the risk of an unplanned pregnancy if you have sex. To prevent pregnancy, use an additional form of birth control (e.g., cоndоms).
