Yasmin Missed Dose:
The more consecutive tablets missed, the higher the risk that the contraceptive effect is decreased. There is a particularly high risk of becoming pregnant if tablets are missed at the beginning or at the end of the pack. Therefore, the following rules should be followed: 1 Tablet Missed in Week 1: Take the missed tablet as soon as remembered (even if this means taking 2 tabs at the same time) and take the next tablets at the usual time. Use extra contraceptive precautions (barrier method) for the next 7 days. If the woman had sexual intercourse in the week before missing the tablet, there is a possibility of becoming pregnant. Inform the doctor immediately. 1 Tablet Missed in Week 2: Take the missed tablet as soon as remembered (even if this means taking 2 tabs at the same time) and take the next tablets at the usual time. The reliability of the pill is maintained. No need for extra contraceptive precautions. 1 Tablet Missed in Week 3: The following options may be considered, without the need for extra contraceptive precautions: (1) Take the missed tablet as soon as remembered (even if this means taking 2 tabs at the same time) and take the next tablets at the usual time. Start the next pack as soon as the current pack is finished so that no gap is left between packs. A withdrawal bleed may not occur until the end of the 2nd pack but there may be spotting or breakthrough bleeding on tablet-taking days. (2) Discontinue taking tablets from the current pack, have a tablet-free break of ?7 days (also count the day tablet is missed) and continue with the next pack. When following this method, the next pack can always be started on the same day of the week as the patient usually does. In case there are forgotten tablets in a pack and the expected period in the 1st normal tablet-free break is not observed, then there is a possibility of pregnancy. Consult a doctor before starting the next pack. If vomiting occurs within 3-4 hrs after taking Yasmin tablet, the active ingredients may not have been completely absorbed. This is the same as missing a tablet; therefore, follow the advice for missed tablets. Delaying the Period: Menstrual period may be delayed if the next pack of Yasmin is started immediately after finishing the current pack. This pack can be continued for as long as the patient wishes, until the pack is empty.

To begin menstrual period, it is sufficient to stop tablet-taking . While using the 2nd pack, there may be some breakthrough bleeding or spotting on tablet-taking days. Start with the next pack after the usual 7-day tablet-free break. Changing the Starting Day of the Period: If Yasmin is taken as directed, the period will be on the same day every 4 weeks. If this is to be changed, shorten (never lengthen) the next tablet-free break, eg if the period usually starts on a Friday and there is a desire to shift menstrual period to start on Tuesday (3 days earlier), the next pack should be started 3 days sooner than the usual. If the tablet-free break is made very short (eg, ?3 days), there may not be any bleeding during the break but breakthrough bleeding or spotting may occur during the use of the next pack. Unexpected Bleeding:

As with all pills, for the first few months, there may be irregular vaginal bleeding (spotting or breakthrough bleeding) in between periods. Use of sanitary protection may be needed, but tablet intake should be continued as normal. Irregular vaginal bleeding usually stops once the body has adjusted to the pill (usually after about 3 tablet-taking cycles). If bleeding continues, becomes heavy or starts again, inform the doctor. During a Missed Period: If all the tablets are taken at the right time and vomiting did not occur or any other medicines is not used, then pregnancy is unlikely to occur. Continue to take Yasmin as usual. If the period is missed twice in a row, pregnancy may occur. Inform the doctor immediately. Do not start the next pack of Yasmin until the doctor has checked the no pregnancy has occurred.
