When you take the yasmin pills do you have to take them at the same time every day even though they are not low dose?

Sakinah

Low dose pills usually are only progestion only pills and are for pg prevention and not hormonal control.
Are you looking for pg prevention?

And yes you are supposed to take them at the exact same time every day otherwise they "say" they are useless and you can become pg. Its in the insert.

I dont know why so many are taking yaz, they are so expensive and there are cheaper pills on the market with the same results.
just a thought

I do the mail order through my insurance so i pay $42 every 90 days plus my dr says that yasmin is the bc to treat pcos the best

I actually now take the generic form of Yasmin. I know you are supposed to take it at the same time every day. I always take it first thing when I get up, but on the weekends that is not as early as during the week. I have never had any problems with not taking it at the EXACT same time every day, but I don't use if for pregnancy prevention. I don't know if this would make a difference.

It is better to take it *around* the same time each day, but it is effective if you are up to (but no more) 12 hours later than normal. I aim for within 2-3 hours and have done for years and it has always been 100% effective. You can miss up to 2 Yasmin pills and be protected as long as you continue to take the rest of the pack as normal. It should be in the instructions.

It's only with the 20mcg preparations like Mricette and Yaz that you need to be more careful. x
