What is Yaz birth control?

Yaz birth control is a combination oral contraceptive (birth control pill). The Yaz birth control pill is typically used to prevent pregnancy in women. It’s a combination of synthetic estrogen and progestin for pregnancy prevention, managing moderate acne, and treating PMDD.

The active ingredients are drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol (betadex clathrate). Yaz birth control pills are taken daily by mouth. Ideally, the medication should be taken at the same time every day in the order laid out on the 28-day pack for the month.

How does Yaz birth control work?

The Yaz birth control pill suppresses the production of androgen (sex) hormones like testosterone. Drospirenone (progestin) targets progesterone receptors in the body. Ethinyl estradiol (estrogen) increases estrogen levels in the body to further prevent ovulation. The medication thickens cervical mucus and slightly changes the lining of the uterus to make it more difficult for sperm to reach an egg.

How do I know if I qualify for Yaz birth control?

A gynecologist will evaluate you before prescribing Yaz and any other types of birth control. They may check your blood pressure, ask about your medical history, and perform routine health exams to get a clear picture of your health status. If a healthcare provider finds any potential health risks, they may offer alternative birth control options.
