The leg cramps might be caused by the type of progesterone in Yasmin. It is supposed to work in a similar way as Spriro. I believe like Spiro, it works like a potassium sparing diuretic and can cause potassium build-up. Read the drug facts that came with your prescription to make sure I've got the thing about the potassium correct. If so, you should be careful to avoid foods high in potassium (like bananas & cereals fortified with it). If it's just the opposite, and causes you to lose potassium, then you should eat bananas and such. Just search on google for high potassium foods.
Whichever it is, drink plenty of water. |
