About YASMIN 21

Key Benefits & Uses

- Treats symptoms of premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), including anxiety, depression, irritability, and physical symptoms.
- May also be used to regulate menstrual cycles and reduce menstrual cramps.
Active Ingredient & Action
ETHINYL ESTRADIOL is a synthetic estrogen that works by suppressing the release of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) from the hypothalamus, which in turn inhibits the release of luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) from the pituitary gland. This prevents ovulation and thickens the cervical mucus to prevent sperm penetration. DROSPIRENONE is a progestin that works by inhibiting the growth of the endometrium and preventing implantation of a fertilized egg.
